I had exactly the same thing. your numbers for getting her2 to stay away without the proper treatment are wrong. If you do nothing your probability of reoccurrence is about 80% chance. They now have pertusamab sp? which will help the herceptin keep it away for about 25 years or maybe it won't come back ever. Your chance of it coming back with treatment is on 15%. It is my feeling that a lumpectomy is more on target but everyone is different. If it does come back I want it in a place like my breast so I can feel it. Not in my female parts. FYI I would have a hysterectomy as well. It love all the female parts. There is a very good article on the home page about holistic views. When you have nothing else. sure try that. But you have the most sophisticated medicine right there waiting for you to get well. Know the facts. They are the same for everyone with your condition. Its like a bad job for a year. that year comes and goes and your life will be better afterwards. Don't stop now. Best wishes

Between us (and anyone else reading this!), I wouldn't give Barryboomer's suggestion any credence. He has one answer to everything; he knows nothing about medical science except to call treatments "poison." He means well, but when it comes to breast cancer - ANY cancers, actually - his advice, if taken, can be harmful. I'm saying this only because you may be new to WhatNext and not aware of his recommendations. And I realize you weren't born yesterday and don't need my comment about what he wrote, but I had to say this anyway.
