Hi Susan,
All the women on this board, including myself, have been in your shoes. I was scared to death myself. I didn't have a clue as to what they were talking about at first.
I too, am ER/PR negative and Her2 3+ strong. My tumor was 1.2 cn.. I also have, over the years, had frequent urinary track infections and always use a urologist. I strongly advise you to get one at the same hospital if possible, as your doctors and treatments. He can handle this so much better than your family doctor and your urologist and onco can talk should there be the need for meds while on chemo.
Do all you can to help yourself right from the start. Herceptin wasn't offered two years ago when I started chemo
My white count was pretty low on my third A/C and I had to wait till it came up. I had blood work done almost every day at the hospital and as soon as it was up enough, they started again. No problems! They did keep an eye on it.
You'll be in my prayers, too..
Maggie
