Re: HER2 learning more is it a bad thing?
KirisMum-
Thank you for the information. One more question, if they start me out on some chemo such as what you listed will I loose my hair? I mean how much chemo does one have before hair loss? I am more certain today than I was a few days ago, this website has helped me out so much. I feel bad asking so many questions but I want to know exactly what needs to happen for my treatment. Thank you for the website I will check it out. I appreciate it so much. Also, will a port need to be inserted for me to get the infusion? I hate needles and the Cancer Center here where I go has a hard time getting blood due to deep veins... let me know. again thank you so much!
