Hi Sandy!
Hi Sandy!
About four years ago I asked my doctor if they kept any of my cells from my mast. surgery. (I had heard that they do this)My docor said ,"Probably, because they always save a block.)
They got in touch with the hospital and had a sample from my block sent to the lab and there they discovered that my cells were her2+, so they put me on herceptin.
Guess what? Yesterday I had surgery to remove the area under my arm that was causing me discomfort. They sent those cells away and said it will take three weeks to get the results to see if they are still her2+.
I asked the doc. if they then would know what kind of drug would work best for me and he said, "They are not that advanced yet, but eventually that would be the goal."
Is that why you want them sent to the lab - to see if they are her2+?
God Bless You, Sandy! You look so happy and full of joy, peace and beauty! Cathy
