Met with oncologist and went very well. i do have invasive and I do have Her2 positive but she says its very curable, starting with chemo to shrink it - it's 1.9 cm, 1 every 3 weeks for 6 cycles, then lumpectomy, then radiation. Plus MRI and PT Scan before everything else. She says it will take about a year. she says the biopsy can be confusing because its like slicing into a fruit pie with different berries and it depends what part of the pie they cut into, what they will find. Does this make sense / compare with your experience?

@kayanonsen the image of the pie with different berries was helpful with the biopsy just getting a slice. My biopsy was HER2+ because it got a lot of DCIS material, but my surgical specimens were negative.
