I am trying to ask a question on this web site that I found today. Obviously I am having difficulty finding the correct location to ask a question...please forgive me but I have to start somewhere.......
I am 50 years old, was diagnosed in October with breast cancer. On November 16 I had a mastectomy and the pathology report came back with the following:
the invasive cancer was .7 cc
the nodes were negative
the ER and PR were negative
HER 2 was positive
I have conflicting directions on what to do next. The oncologist wants me to have 4 sessions of chemotherapy and the surgical oncologist says not to have chemotherapy. I am so confused as I do not fully understand what Her 2 postive means and all of the informations seems to be directed towards women who have metastic breast cancer.
My pathology report on the breast cancer itself is very positive but what does a Her 2 positive marker mean if all of the cancer was removed?
Again, thank you for reading this and could you please help me in getting my question to the right place.
Regards
Patti
