Myra,
Is thinking about how you are taking positive steps to ward off the disease.
The herceptin treatments are a big step in fighting off the her2. Most times
when we feel frightened it is due to the unknown and not being able to have
control. Say to yourself daily "I can beat this." A positive attitude will give
you the courage to go on when things get rough. Most important to remember
you are not alone. When you need some lifting just get to this board.

Regards,
Jean
