Hi everyone I’m 6 years cancer free this post is for my mother 77 years newly diagnosed….she is grade 3 & 2.4cm lump with a few scattered cells around the lump ..lymph nodes not shown effected on ultrasound…this is the dilemma…the her2 results came back borderline so have gone for FISH TEST they went 3 weeks ago & are still not back apparently there’s a technical problem on the lab she was scheduled for surgery last week but was cancelled as the her2 results were not back they have again booked her surgery for Thursday…if her2 positive she’d be having chemo first …the consultant has given her the decision to make …they do surgery & if negative great but if positive chemo will be after & they won’t know which treatment the tumour responds best too …but if she doesn’t get treated fast I’m worried of spread as she’s grade 3 & the consultant said a good chance it’s positive….any thoughts on what she should do …anyone had surgery first on a lump bigger than 2 cm her2 positive
thanks so much
