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.
