Message for Melinda

Your dx seems pretty close to mine, though my cancer was grade 2.

Never had the Oncotype test, neither do I know the proliferation rate - they don't do these tests in the UK.

Just interested to know what your FISH score was, given that you were IHC2+ (like me). My FISH score was 2.71 (weakly positive), though I received neither chemo nor herceptin - onc said prognostic indicators didn't warrant these.

I am 53 and had my last period 5 years ago. How old are you? Apparently, age comes into the equation.

Smile Date of diagnosis

Dear Lori,

HOpe this finds you doing well. My first diagnosis was in 1995, was cancer free for almost 11 yrs, then it reappeared in other side, more aggresive, etc. I only had radiation the first time, all that was recommended. This is a bigger issue to deal with. So far I'm doing okay on Herceptin and Aridia, but they could change treatment at any time. All the ladies on this site are such a wonderful support for each other. Yes I'm scared and don't know what future holds for me. But I continue to work part time and hope I will be cured.

Keep in touch and let me know of your progress.
