I am scheduled…

10 years after BC diagnosis, I have mets in lung which are BC
Hi All My oncologist called this morning to confirm that the node in my lung is indeed breast cancer, it took them a few days to figure out but they knew it wasn't lung cancer. I'm so shocked.

I guess this could eventually mean a new first line for estrogen positive HER2+ patients. This was just a Phase 2 trial so I suppose there has to be a Phase 3 before it would become common in clinical use. Looks like they didn’t include Perjeta (pertuzumab) in this protocol, either. CONCLUSION: In this phase II trial,…
