Testing, treatment, side effects, and more.
Hi. I'm glad I found this forum. I just turned 63, and in mid-January, I went for my mammogram, and they told me I had 3mm calcifications that "were probably nothing." It wasn't nothing. A biopsy showed HER-2-positive cancer (negative for estrogen and progesterone). I had surgery a week ago. Invasive Ductal Carcinoma,…

Hello everyone! I’ve been going through some of the posts not quite ready to join in but I’m starting treatment soon and it feels right.

Hi ladies, I was wondering if there are any women out there who are 10 years or longer with her2 positive breast cancer? When I was diagnosed in 2008, my prognosis said '80% chance of no recurrence in 10 years'. Wondered what they based this on, as I have yet to talk to anyone past 6-8 years and they seem to have had…
ER 3+/PR 1+/HER 3 +! Still trying to get over the shock! Met with the Nurse Navigator today and got the results.. Am scheduled with the surgeon for April 20 and the nurse is trying to schedule an MRI for next week and see about moving the surgical appointment up. Sounds like Chemo before surgery (the tumor is sitting on…
Hello, Ladies! I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer (triple positive) at age 28. I’m looking for other young patients who’ve had breast cancer long time ago. Please share your stories about fighting HER2+ or +++. Stage? ERPR? Ki67? Treatment? If you are or your friends under age 40 when diagnosed, would you mind…
This has been a road my nightmares were made up of. I’m 42 and I never imagined this for myself. Needless to say I’m sure none of us imagined this. I’m terrified to say the least and all roads lead to a fight we have to fight that unfortunately we have to pray for it to never come back. That’s the thing that gets me I…
Hello all. Hope this finds you well. I was diagnosed with stage IIB HER2+ breast cancer in two masses and a lymph node left side, by FISH back in September, was put on TCHP, dropping the P after the first 2 treatments after severe, crippling GI side effects that landed me in the ER. I finished treatment the first week of…
