Was Anyone Diagnosed with Small HER2+ Breast Cancer and Not Given Herceptin?

Did you have an oncotype test

After surgery I am ER/PR positive and Her2 negative...I will see the oncologist tomorrow of my treatment.

In 2021, I had her2+, er+, pr-, 3mm tumor. Had lumpectomy, radiation, anastrazole. Drs said tumor was too small, no need for additional treatment (unless I got a mastectomy). Fast forward 1-1\2 yrs, another 3mm tumor, same breast, her2-, er+, pr-. Resistant to anti-estrogen therapy. Just had mastectomy and will be doing chemo. Always felt "off" with no additional treatment 1st time. Drs focused on tumor size and her2, other characteristics weren't part of protocol. I'll always wonder about that. Also, I think oncotype is for her2- only.

Treatment decisions for small HER2+ breast cancers can vary significantly based on many individual factors that oncologists consider when creating personalized treatment plans. Many others in this community have navigated similar questions about their treatment approach, and it's completely understandable to want to connect with others who have had comparable diagnoses and treatment experiences.
