Hi all
My wife was recently diagnosed with grade 3 ER+ HER2+, she is 32 and has already had her mastectomy operation.
We have an appointment this week with the oncologist to discuss treatment from here, we are expecting this to be chemo and herceptin which have already been mentioned.
I am wondering what we should be asking as there seems to be so many different chemo options and with her being ER+ and HER2, can both form’s of treatment for these be taken?
Thanks for any advise.
