Hi- I was scared about the chemo too - I have now had two rounds of THC and herceptin every week. I have not had a bad experience-just mostly tired and of course, the hair loss. That is not bad to handle- get a wig, scarves and have fun with it. I only had one sad day with the hair- the day it was coming out in my hand. I did what all the women said to do and got my head shaved. Mentally and physically much better!! I know hair is not the big concern- the cancer being stopped is but it is mentally important to prepare a good attitude for it all. My outlook is that I will do what it takes to hopefully be cured. I told myself that the side effects cannot last and I can stand what I must knowing it is not forever. Anyway- hope this helps and I wish you the very best and yes, I believe Herceptin is a Godsend for us that are HER2 +.
