a bit worried..ok a lot worried

[rinaina]

After reading carolm's post asking if herceptin worked as well for late stagers as it does for early stagers, it made me think of another topic. I am stage I her2+ but er/pr negative. I have read on this forum that being er/pr- is much worse then being positive. I realize that I can't be treated with tamoxifen or arimidex or any of the hormone suppressing drugs so my only defense is herceptin. I thought though that being stage I with no node involvement meant I had a really good chance at beating this cancer despite being hormone negative. Now I am worried that because I am hormone negative I have a worse chance at beating this. Can anyone shed any light on this before I get all bent out of shape? Thank you.
