I am pretty sure that the Herceptin result (assuming that is the 'Her2' on my path tests) is pivotal to your treatment. I was progesterone & Oestrogen Positive - but luckily was Her2 negative. If you are Her2+ - your treatment will be different from mine.
For your own peace of mind, I hope you get started on your treatment soon - Funnily - it was suggested that I not start my radiation til about 'now' - but I also couldn't stand the wait & really pressed to have it before I went on hols to Norfolk Island in April - so ended up having the radiation in March, finishing the day before Easter.
I'm going 'fine' thank you .... my 'change in plan' was very minor, in the bigger plan of things! ;)
Thinking of you! xx
