molecular level testing :: targeted cancer treatment :: is my cancer different

my cancer is different:
extra aggressive her2neu breast cancer with grim prognosis + not calcified.

molecular-level testing prescribed the targeted cancer drug herceptin, in addition to chemo, shrank my huge tumor completely, but i still had to have deforming surgery + radiation, in case a single cell of cancer survived.

detecting cancer that isn't calcified, like "my different cancer" that mammograms aren't designed to detect, requires an MRI + self exams.

i wish detecting breast cancer didn't depend on waiting for a tumor to grow.
