Hi there, welcome to the club no-one wants to join.
Pretty much the same as me your diagnosis. I have fingers crossed that yours isn't HER2+.
I had a lumpectomy, sentinel node biopsy - results HER2+ and ER/PR+. Followed with 6 rounds of TCH, then a further 12 rounds of Herceptin alone, (down to the last 2 now) 30 zaps of radiation and I'm on Arimidex for 5 years. I am hoping that with all that ammunition I won't get it back.
I trusted my surgeon and my onc, I do everything they suggeest and I ask questions ALL the time. Anything, everything, whenever I think of something that I don't know the answer to. I Google a lot (which many say you shouldn't cos it's scary) but I like to know. Knowledge is power I reckon. Here is a great place too with so many ppl and so many stories and SO much helpful advice and friendship.
Best of luck with results, do let us know.
