I did not understand the seriousness of being HER2+++ until I found this website. I am 42.
I received lumpectomy & radiation (finished rads 3 weeks ago) and although my breast looks great, I am wondering if I made the right decision to have the lumpectomy. One tumor was ER- , .9mm and the other tumor was ER+, 1.7 mm. Both tumors were NOT connected to one another yet in the same quadrant. Negative nodes. No BRCA mutation.
Granted, whats done is done -but I was wondering if there were any studies/ data regarding specifically HER2+ recurrance vs HER2- recurrance.
AND has anyone had a mastectomy after radiation- How did you fair? Is there a timeline on when one should have mastectomy after lumpectomy and rads -does the scar tissue form right away or does it take a long time.
I know these are a lot of questions, and but anyone who has experience/ input would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!
