Similar Circumstances
Hi Ann,
My story is similar to yours although I have just passed my 3yr NED anniversary. I was diagnosed in June 2004 and had a lumpectomy and radiation. At that stage her2 was not routinely checked in Australia. My tumour was small 0.8cm, Grade 2 ,pr + (10%) er -, clear margins & no lymph node involvement. When I went to a new oncologist last year on the recommendation of a friend who had Stage IV breast cancer my original tumour was tested for her 2 and found to be positive on IHC & Cish (which is a similar test to the Fish test but seems to be used in Australia more than in the US). The oncologist said she would have recommended chemo due to the her2+++ but in a way I am pleased that I was not faced with making that decision. it's heartening to know that there are others in the same position. May we all remain healthy!!
Kind regards,
Emily
