My sister was diagnosed last July with stage three BC with 6.5cm IDC, 17/26 nodes, oestrogen and progesterone negative and HER2+++, she 24. She had the tumor removed before chemo (3xFEC &3xTAX) which she finished at christmas and is now awaiting surgery, herceptin to follow. Just wondering if anyone has a similar diagnosis at this age? Is it very rare?
