ER/PR weak, Her2 Positive vs. Femera
3 months into receiving Herceptin, just started Femera. Oncologist said Femera won't be as effective in my case because I am weakly er/pr positive (both 15%). If I were strongly er/pr positive I would benefit much more. She gave me the impression that my prognosis is not as good because of this or maybe I was so shocked to learn the above that's what I read into it. My question now has become then why would I take Femera to begin with? If I am considered weakly, and the benefits are not so high than what real benefit will it be? The side effects might not be worth it if I am not going to benefit from taking this drug for 5 years. My bc tumor was 1.4cm, stage1 upgraded to stage 2 with cells in 1 sentinel node. Her2 positive (3.1 amplified), clear margins, IDC.
Is anyone out here weakly er/pr positive but her2 positive that is receiving Herceptin but not taking a Aromotose Inhibitor?
