I'm so sorry about your dx...especially when it appears that they should have caught this back in Decmber. How frustrating!!
So great that you've had such a response to your neoadjuvant treatment. Even better that your'e a candidate for a lumpectomy now. Just wondering, are you on Taxo Herceptin together? The two are so synergistic, it seems you might get even more mileage if your combine the two vs. sequential treatment. Maybe explore this option with your onc, if you haven't already.
Herceptin is an amazing drug & the very reason many of us are thriving in the face of such a serious diagnosis. Unfortunately, there is nothing, scientifically confirmed, that will prevent a recurrence, not even Herceptin. There's some new data that shows really wonderful long term response & I think very soon, we'll all be getting even better news for treatment options for us!
Prayers Faith & Courage!
