Some of those tests were not available when I was initially diagnosed. I can’t say that my story would have been wildly different but I still think I should have gotten a second opinion straight away. My mother used to always say, hindsight is always 20/20. I am ER+, PR-, HER2+. Grade 3, initial stage 2.
Thank you for sharing your story. It reinforces that you have to self advocate. Wow, I'm glad you did that. I went with the first doctor as I went to a cancer center, but I'm very please up to this point. I plan to get a 2nd opinion.
