Who else is HER2 positive?

Thank you! Your journey seems similar to mine with same treatment. I wish you and all to continue be cancer free. I had positive lymph nodes left when they removed them thus will be doing 14 cycles of TDM1. I meet with radiation dr next week to go over treatment plan.

I end chemo and radiation a year ago. I had a lumpectomy and 2 lymph nodes removed.. I'm 81 and doing well. I have to get a mammogram soon, but my surgeon said I don't need to come in for a visit until a year from now. I see the oncologist every 4months. I read an oncologist said that if she got breast cancer HERpositive would be the "best" kind to have because it can be targeted with Herceptin.

I was diagnosed with HER 2 in June of 2021, stage 2. I was treated with Pacitaxol and Herceptin and Perjeta for 12 weeks followed by a mastectomy and 19 radiation sessions. Because there was a small amount of cancer left in the removed breast tissue, I had 14 infusions of Kadcyla (every 3 weeks). I'm finished with treatment, my port is out and C T scan showed no cancer present. I know that my positive attitude and support from friends and family got me through the dark times. I tried to laugh every day even through the treatments. I was able to continue eating well (extra protein) and walk. Walking was my mental therapy. I have met many wonderful strong women in my support group. We can do this!

I was diagnosed as HER2+ at first, then two other hospitals got equivocal then negative by further FISH testing. I was troubled and saw another doc who tested more cells (60 instead of 20) and got a negative but it was close to the line for positive. My tumor was mixed and ductal part was HER2+, lobular part was negative. I still worry!

During that time, I was also told that Herceptin and Perjeta were miracle drugs and that people with HER2+ were doing well. The treatment isn't easy but is hopefully reassuring. Good luck!

I was diagnosed almost four years ago with triple positive breast cancer.

I had chemo, H/P, lumpectomy, radiation and now on Arimidex I’m doing very well three years later.

Having Her2+ is not the diagnosis it once was. Herceptin and Perjeta are miracle drugs. ♥️🙏♥️

I was diagnosed with stage 3B HER2 positive breast cancer last year these days. I did mastectomy and found a 4cm tumor and removed 21 lymph nodes (9 of them were affected), I was very lucky and I kept the nipple. Then I did chemotherapy weekly (for 22 weeks), alongside I did immunotherapy with trastuzumab+pertuzumab. After all of these I had radiation therapy every day for 25 sessions and now continuing with immunotherapy (every 3 weeks) till is a full year since I begun. I've been doing every 3 months examinations (mostly mammograms, ultra sounds in the abdoment and breasts and chest), every 6 months we add a brain MRI and CT scans of the abdomen and a bone density measurement. So far my examinations are cancer free!!! I've been struggling with anxiety, depression and insomnia since last February. But with a little help from my friend Chemistry I'm better (antidepressants and other)! I realised that my case was serious and that I had to fight with all my heart and brain! I can say now that I am very optimistic and believe that I will be a positive case and cancer free for the years to come! I have a lot of things to do in life and I will do all of them!!! Hope I helped you and cheered you up! I wish you well and be healthy for the years coming!!! 😊🤞
