Re: Just Diagnosed HER2+ Stage 4
Of course you are terrified. We all know what that feels like. You have come to the right place for understanding and support. As you get specifics, it would help if you made a profile that will show at your signature. The "user CP" link will help with that. Meanwhile, you have had good suggestions already. Esp about keeping good notes of questions and replies from the docs. Avail yourself of any support groups or counselors.
Ask us anything.
And keep the faith.
