A member asked:
What do you suggest if my mom has her2 breast cancer stage 1 grade 3 how good is her chance of living?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good prognosis: All stage I breast cancers have a good prognosis when curative treatment is given. Her2+ status influences the choice of chemotherapy which would include a drug called Herceptin (trastuzumab) that basically acts to 'block' Her2 receptors on the tumor.
