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.

Date of diagnosis
Dear Catherine,
I too was diagnosed in April 2006, first bout of BC in 1995. Had been free for 10 yrs. This time it's more aggressive, had biopsy which surgeon thought looked fine. Three days later he called it was malignant, had wider margins done, also bone scan which revealed something on spine. Had MRI, was diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic cancer. Had 18 radiation treatments to spine and lungs. Then began Herceptin with Aredia. Still getting every 3 weeks, last CT was no change but nothing new, due for another next month. This has not been a good week, have not felt so hot. Keeping in contact with onc, trying various meds. Keep me informed of how you are doing. We all need to support each other.

In my 9th year
I joined this group years ago but life takes over and when the format changed I kind of dropped off the radar. I periodically check in and saw this thread. Without too much detail, I was dx in Jan 2000. Left mas, 5/10 pos nodes. E/P -/her2+++. Back then herceptin was not an option. After chemo/rads I was dx with bone mets in April 2002. Lots of chemo/rad and herceptin put me into a chemical remission. After 8 mos of chemo I was put on herceptin with Zometa eventually (after 5 yrs) discontinuing the Zometa.
Since Sept 2003 I have been on herceptin without any other agent and so far I have remained stable. I hate to use the term NED but I have had no progression of disease.
When I was first dx my youngest child was 8. I was told I would probably not see my children graduate from high school. Well. I have seen 3 walk across the stage and my youngest is entering his senior year. My oldest just graduated from college and one daughter has gotten married. Both of my daughters are in college and at this point there is no reason to believe I will not be there to see them graduate as well.
I have been so blessed.

Knew nothing about HER-2 until i heard a lecture!!
Dx Sept 2003 at age 40. "lump"was lymph node with BC on it but no sign of tumor by mammo or ultrasound. Finally found primary after extensive ultrasound, bit of guesswork and several core biopsies.
ER+PR+ HER-2+++. 3/12 nodes involved. 23mm tumor. stage 2B
Sept 2003- partial mastectomy and aux clearance
Oct 2003- re excision but margins not clear
Nov 2003- mastectomy with expander inserted.
Dec 2003- May 2004 FEC x 8. (only one i know who had that many!!)
Aug 2004- expander changed over to silicone
Oct 2004- ovaries out
Took Tamoxifen and then changed to Arimidex last year. Oh my aching bones!
Nov 2005- started late Herceptin through HERA trial.
I think that is all!
