Just been diagnosed with Metaplastic stage 3 breast cancer with 2 lymph nodes affected. They are Her2 positive and Her2 negative. Plan is chemo then surgery then radiation. Cancer hasn’t spread anywhere else. Has anyone got any experience of this?

  • Hi  

    I am sorry you have been diagnosed with metaplastic breast cancer. I don’t have metaplastic cancer but I do have metastatic TNBC, am one of our community champions, and would like to welcome you to our site. As I am sure you are aware, metaplastic breast cancer is not common. I think I have seen people posting about it. You might want to do a search of the site for posts referencing it so you can connect with them. Ultimately the treatments are likely to be the same as they would be for someone with a mix of HER2 and triple negative IDC. Treatments are obviously not pleasant but are tolerable for most people. Wishing you all the best.
