Re: 5 year's out from stage 3 Her2 pos 35 pos nodes
That is what I did when I learned I had HER2+ breast cancer and how aggressive it is. My surgeon was telling me there was no disease detected in my right breast and it could be saved. I just told her, "The decision has been made!" I am vert glad I made that decision. Good luck. Some good advice I received from another doctor was to make the best decision with the information I had and never look back. Second guessing can be a real downer and to survive this disease, one has to stay focused on the goal and stay positive.
Prayers are with you. This early time is very difficult.
