Hi Curryalso. I am reading and writing to the group because my sister was diagnosed HER2 positive, but I am also a breast cancer survivor of 26 years (No testing for Her2 back then). I had a right modified radical mastectomy and a year of CMF chemo on a three week cycle all those years ago. It was a quite common chemo regimen a long time ago, but isn't give so much these days--according to my sis's chemo nurses. I tolerated it pretty well, with a few of the common side effects. I also took Vincristine with it and some prednisone. I wish you well with this treatment.....I've always been glad I did it---It has served me well!
