I was just diagnosed with Her2 positive ER & PR negative breast cancer. I had a particial mastectomy and I am node negative. My tumor was small with a 3mm invasition in mass breast tissue. My oncologist said I have to make the decision on what treatment to have since only 1% of breast have this type of senerio of cancer. He said Herceptin will not help this senerio of cancer even though the fisch lab report suggested the use of Herceptin. If I opt for Chemo and ask for Herceptin to be would this be a benefit for less of a re-occurance rate? Or do you think I am safe with just Chemo and radiation?
I am seeking a second opinion but it will take weeks for another dr. appointment.
Please help, I need answers.
Thank you, Teresa j
