With family history of breast cancer, two tumors in left breast er/pr- her2+++, I had surgury aug 2005, followed by 4 ac, 12 taxol/herceptin, 36 days of radiation, now herceptin. Don't regret the double masectomy. I do regret having complication of reconstruction with implants at the same time. They are still uncomfortable and added a bunch of Dr. visits to my already busy schedule. Anti-anxiety meds helped me the whole time - adavan to be specific. Now feeling great. Diet turned around, no more sugar/caffeine/alcohol. Drink lots of water, listen to your body. Enlist as much help from your friends and family as you can. Learn to ask.
