Longevity
I have a question concerning node negative, clean margins, stage 1, grade 3, her2neu positive infiltrating ductal cancer. I am er/pr negative as well. Most of what I read is on node positive and stage 2 or above and er/pr positive. Does anyone have any info, research or links that refer to:
!. the longevity of b.c. with these characteristics
2. the treatment of b.c. with these traits
3. how herceptin works with all of the above characteristics
I am trying to get a handle on my prognosis. Most of what I read refers to node positive or higher staged her2 cancers. I also read in overwhelming cases on here about reoccurences but again most of these are in people with higher stages and node positive. I am very confused because I was told my prognosis is very good yet I am not getting that feeling by all I read. I have had one chemo treatment with A/C so far with 3 more to come 3 weeks apart. My next treatment is a week from this Thursday.
Thanks for your input and help. I am scared of the unknown.
