I was also 42 when i was first diagnosed with insitu ductal carcinoma Her2+ in the right breast. I received A/C 4x 38 rads after having a lumpectomy. Herceptin was not available at that time that I know of. I think if it had of been maybe I would not have had 4 reocurrances to go through.
Please let me know if this works for you. I have wondered about this for 4 years.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless...
