Looking for information

[Lien]

Hi all, I was diagnosed with IDC 3 years ago. Had a lumpectomy, radiation and after almost a year, started Zoladex shots and Arimidex. Am doing ok with those.

I didn't get Herceptin, as this wasn't done at the time, and I didn't get chemo because the tumor was small, 0,6 cm.

My question is: does anyone know of new research regarding this kind of therapy and it's effectiveness? I know there's the ZEBRA trial and the Austrian Breast and Colorectal group trial. Just haven't found the results yet. Just a tiny abstract, which doesn't tell the whole story.

Is there any news on how Her2 positivity affects prognosis? Especially for small tumors?

I'm doing fine so far, so it's just out of curiosity that I'm trying to find out.

Oh, by the way, I live in the Netherlands, where chemo is avoided when it doesn't seem necessary. I also have severe allergies, so wasn't looking forward to taking any meds long-term, but so far seem to have no problems with hormonal therapy.

Thanks for your input

Jacqueline
