I agree...when I first heard I had her2 positive bc and googled it I was terrified.
That is,until I came here and learned so much from all the brave members of this site the true meaning of being her2 positive...that life can and does go on.
It gave me confidence and made me determined to fight as much as I could to get though the treatments as much as I could. If by chance I do have a recurrance yes I'll be shocked and upset but no longer believe it's a death sentence as I did in my ignorance when first diagnosed.
Thank you all, and to all those who have had a recurrance I applaud and thank you for teaching the rest of us early stager's how to live and enjoy life even as stage iv.
Blessings to all
