Hi Ladies: In reference to the post 2 below.....it would be interesting to find out how many of us are ER+/PR+, HER2+++, pre or post menopauseal and what we are taking for it. I will go first: ER+/PR+, HER2+++, Pre-men.(age 52), Tamoxifen
I'm ER+99% PR+98% HER + with a ratio of 3.5(it's another FISH lab test)
I'm 53-premenopausal so I'm getting lupron injections to shut down ovaries and Arimidex
Janet in NJ
sister 41 yrs, pre-men., HER2+/ER+
Following initial diagnosis she was put on Arimidex...evidently it did not work. She is now on Herceptin with Taxol and will take only Herceptin following this treatment.
ER+ (50%)
PR+ (10%)
HER2/Neu+ (2+) - hoping Herceptin will still help!
Pre-menopausal, but on Zoladex and having ovaries removed next month.
Taking Arimidex and Bonefos (Bisphosphanate)
I have bone mets & a few small brain mets; my original breast cancer was DCIS (pre-invasive or so we thought!). The mets is ER/PR+ and HER2+ (about a 2.5 - borderline). I am in surgical menopause because I had a complete hysterectomy. I am 38 years old. Am taking arimidex, weekly herceptin & navelbine, and zometa for bone repair.
