What treatments are available for HER2-positive, hormone-negative breast cancer?

I chose to have a lumpectomy with sentinel node biopsy. Tumor was 2.7cm and cancer was found in one lymph node. I will have chemo due to the size of the tumor and that cancer was found in a lymph node. I start chemo 1/15.

My tumor is 1.4 cm. Biopsy does not show lymph nodes involved . Strong family history BC 2 sisters mom and two aunts . No braca gene. So far I have done 1st round of perjeta,herceptin and taxol. 12 rounds of that 1x week And then I’m choosing mastectomy both breasts.

I’m getting 6 rounds of TCHP and then surgery and probably radiation and continued targeted therapy.

I was diagnosed two years ago with HER2+ breast cancer. My tumor measured 2.6 cm, and cancer was found in one lymph node. My treatment included six rounds of Taxotere, Carboplatin, Herceptin, and Perjeta, followed by a lumpectomy. After the surgery, I continued with Herceptin and Perjeta to complete one year of treatment. I underwent 21 rounds of radiation therapy.

Anna T - How were your side effects of the TCHP?

I’m getting my 6th treatment now. I have. No side effects🙏🙏 Correction violently sick after their 6th taxol treatment . Not sure if I have the flu or from chemo?

Cheryl D-Aside from mild neuropathy in my feet, which was resolved with acupuncture, everything else was well tolerated. I did not miss too many days from work. I missed only one or two days during each round of chemo.
