A little Confused.
I met with both the surgeon and onc today regarding my treatment plan. So far they want to do more chemo and then do the mastectomy. This is because the rash extends a little above the breast and that has to go first. (It is almost gone but not quite)
I asked that my receptors be tested again. This time they came back ER-, PR- & her2-. What?!! My onc thinks that I am still her2+ and this is an error. They do not believe that this is a new cancer and they are not considering it skin mets but instead similar to IBC.
Fortunately, I am going for a second opinion in two weeks. I wonder if I should have the receptors tested at another facility.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Tonya
