Her2+ MULTIFOCAL

Hi. Anyone here Multifocal with her2+ only ? Er/pr- ? I was diagnosed with 2 tumors they are about 3 cm each and several satellite lesions around them. Nodes were negative. Started my treatment of TCHP. BUT I’ve heard with my tumors being multifocal and large, I have a higher chance of reoccurrence? Is that correct ? Any positive stories with almost same diagnosis as mine. I’m totally freaking out right now.

  • I'm really sorry no one has commented on your thread. I had multifocal Her2+, also 2 tumors, but mine were also ER+. I can't speak to your situation specifically, unfortunately. My MO did say that the recurrence risk of Her2+ has been declining due to the effectiveness of the newer anti-her2 therapies.

    I hope your chemo is going well.

  • thanks for replying. How big were your tumors?

    wow. That’s amazing you are Ned for that long. Happy for you. Do you recall how many breast tumors you had and how much total they measured to? And what kind of surgery did you get done? And were you also IDC? And er- and pr- both? What stage was given to you ? Thank you so much for replying.
