Hello there
This is my first post, saw the oncologist yesterday ~ I'm HER2 positive , ER+ with no lymph nodes. Two operations, lumpectomy and a further cavity shave. I saw the Oncologist yesterday who said that chemo and Herceptin would only add a couple of percent to 10 year prognosis and so advised against both in the light of covid. He said the risks of having chemo outweighed the additional percentages that chemo and Herceptin would give. I want to give myself the best chance......... I'm just interested what other people's' experience is in the current covid climate.
He has said the choice is mine - chemo would be 12 weeks once a week with Herceptin for a year, involving shielding for 16 weeks.
Thanks
Heather
