Hi
I have been waiting over 2 weeks for the HER2 results - does anyone know if this is normal? Everything else is back and I have a date for a lumpectomy set for 7/4 but only if HER2 comes back negative - otherwise we are going chemo first.
just wondered other peoples experience on waiting for results - the uncertainty about what happens next is a nightmare
thanks
aly
Hi Aly,
Sorry to hear you've been waiting so long. I'm also waiting for my HER2 results, but it's only been 3 days for me since my diagnosis. My consultant said he'd give me a call with the results 'in a few days', but haven't heard anything yet. The waiting is awful, not knowing whether it's going to be chemo or surgery first (although my consultant said it's likely to be chemo first for me).
I hope you hear soon, have you given them a call to chase?

Hi I also had to wait for the Her2 results and yes the 2 week wait is about right , one of the cancer nurses phoned me with the results and the wait for that call was unbearable because again its the unknown . Hope yoy hear soon good luck with everything.
