I was diagnosed August 5th double mastectomy September 3rd stage 1. It was radical but it was worth it. Not going to have other Hooters put in. All I have read that it's a disaster waiting to happen long-term. Having fake ones put in that is. At any age! What is the longest that anyone has not had the ". C " come back after having 12 weeks of chemo with Kinjinti a biosimilar to Herceptin???? Of course I will have to be on the Kinjinti for the rest of the year through the infusion. And then apparently five years after that, on a pill. I realize this is the practice of medicine but I'm tired of being practiced on!!!!!!!!! Can't they just get it right??????? Oh that's right I wouldn't be able to make this kind of money on us if they stopped practicing and got it right!

Many people in this community have shared stories of long-term remission lasting years or even decades with HER2+ treatments, though everyone's journey is unique and depends on individual factors. The frustration with the medical system is completely understandable, and it sounds like you're making thoughtful decisions about your care and treatment path moving forward.

I had triple positive back in 2010 unilateral mastectomy and treatment and got a new occurrence in 2024 to other breast. Back then I was never told it could come back but I know it may. No guarantees.
