Re: Question Please help
This is not a situation where one should be taking advice from well-meaning friends who don't know what they are talking about! The most important thing is that she is receiving chemo and Herceptin, the best drug for treating HER2+ cancer. Her doctors have hopefully discussed the options with her and explained why this course of treatment has been chosen.
She may be needing help during treatment as she will be tired and maybe have some discomfort. Perhaps you could be available to do chores, be sure she gets some nourishment in small meals. Maybe go to doctor appointments and help take notes.
I know you are worried for her. Keep the faith.
