Yes, thank you. I have had a biopsy. But a friend of mine, lived in London, died a few years ago. She’d developed a 2nd primary and was being treated with hormonal treatment already for the initial primary. Unfortunately, much too late, it was found her 2nd primary was er-.
Thanks for the link. I read on here some time ago that some women’s secondary BC can (and is) different to their primary. Worth bearing in mind. I have a local recurrence as well as bone mets. The new lump was biopsied but not my bone mets. Did you have a bone biopsy Belinda? And if so how much did it hurt? I think this has also been asked on another thread so I’ll check that out as well.

Thanks for the link Bahons, interesting if a little worrying, but then information and knowledge is power and its certainly something I would now press for if I ever end up with secondaries. x
Thanks for this l found it interesting.I have been diagnosed recently with bone metastases.I had a biopsy done as needed op to stabilise my femur with rod and screws so biopsy taken.
Results last week showed mine was 5 yrs down the line still the same.
I had a recurrence in my oposite breast diagnosed last October and that turned out to be Her2+ whereas my primary was Her2-. I was all set to have Taxol + Avastin but this was quickly changed to Taxotere + Herceptin when the results came through.
I have bone secondaries and have never had a biopsy for that so I am wondering whether the chemo i have just finished will have had any impact on my bones or not because of the Her2 status.

Interesting thread, just yesterday my oncologist told me they want a biopsy of my mets, since they are not responding to any chemio, or only for very short periods, and they want to check whether the cancer has changed from triple negative to her2 positive, he said it happens in 20% of the cases…
