Advice one more time
I am a husband who has learned so much while viewing this site for the last 7 months.Thankyou for allowing me here.I have only posted a few times and gotten some great advise through some very difficult times.My wife is what you call triple positive.She dicovered it in her lymph nodes after negative mammograms every year.She had 3 tumors in her left breast.After 12 weeks of Taxol and 13 weeks of herceptin they did an MRI and said they were gone.She then did 4 FEC treatments which came every 3 weeks(that was the hard part for her).The last one was yesterday Feb.27.They had to stop the Herceptin after the first FEC treatment(you know why) and will start it back in 3 weeks till September.Her surgery will be the end of march followed by radiation.
Sorry to be so long winded but my question is she wants to have both breasts removed but the Dr. wants her to just have just the one.He says since she is not a canidate for reconstuction till after the radation she can decide on the other one then.do any of you have any advice for her on this ?
I have tried to get her to look over your HER2 Support Group Forum but she will not. She says she is not ready and gets to depressed thinking about it.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
