Hi,
I had a 1.5 tumor (infiltrating ductal carcinoma, er+/pr+, her2/neu+++, intermediate grade, Stage I (T1cN0Mx) removed via lumpectomy (I later had a mastectomy because of 'dirty' margins). My sentinel node was clean. My oncologist has recommended 4 treatments of A/C. I'm 37 and pre-menopausal.
Do her2/neu positive tumors respond well to chemotharapy? How do women with my profile fare when they refuse chemotherapy? Also, what are the long-term effects of A/C on my immune system, say, 20 years from now? Thanks so much for your answers.
