Her2neu Positive
Posted: 10-20-03 21:57pm

Hi-

i'm new here. I'm 38 years old and have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. It is her2neu positive and er/pr negative. It had spread to three lymph nodes and I have begun my chemo. I have done 3 treatments of a/c on an every two week regimen. I have a total of 8 treatments; 4 a/c and 4 taxol. Then I have to have radiation for 6 weeks and then herceptin. Does anyone out there have a similar situation? I can't find much information about her2neu. Also I was wondering if taxol is about the same as the a/c. I'm getting nervous about starting it. Thanks!
