What's the next step after breast cancer operation?

HER2+ makes things more complicated. I had a mistaken diagnosis of HER2+ from biopsy, and had already bought a wig for chemo hair loss, when the post-surgical tests came back HER2-.
Your results were apparently after surgery, so more reliable. There are special meds for HER2 in addition to chemo. Talk to your doc and if you need to, another doc. It helps to get opinions. Treatment feels more tolerable, I think, when you are sure about it and are committed. Good luck!

Hello,
I am HER2 + grade 3. After surgery 3/22. Cancer clear, preventative treatment plan
25 rounds of radiation done.
2 rounds of herceptin and moved to T-DM1 for 14 rounds after tumor board reviewed lymph nodes removed.
So - herceptin very easy and no side affects for me. I understand and agree with my treatment plan. Even after the switch to T-DM1.
For a longer part of my life.
I don’t give advice, but HER2 is aggressive and even cancer free, I will focus on science for No reoccurrence!! I would go with herceptin for all rounds then consider alternative medicine you describe “china”
Stay with science and herceptin if this is your treatment plan.
Preventative is important!
