Re: HER2 learning more is it a bad thing?
I believe your right - But I do trust my oncologist and I know even if I have my doubts about what he says he will do what I feel is best for me. It is my body and my decision. We will see what happens. Cancer sure is a scary thing and I pray that one day we find a cure for it there are so many that have it and it is so sad to me. Keep your chin up and think positive as I have tried to stay positive but it is always there and never goes away no matter how hard we try... xoxo hugs to you and your baby girl... and thank you for all the information this morning....
