help me please!

I have stage 3 her2 positive breast cancer but because the adramycin gave me CHF I cannot have the Herceptin(or so my oncologist says). I finished my chemo 6 treatments of the big three and after a double mastecomy(one breast with two lymph nodes) and hysterectomy, 25 radiation treatments. My oncologist says well we will just monitor you and hope it does not reoccur in two years. Ooops I forgot to say I have the Brca 2 gene. I feel like I am not doing everything I can and need to be more proactive. I have a 7 year old that I need to stick around for. I am not ready to give up and whenever I mention to my oncologist if I need to or can I do anything else I get no answers. I am so lost and I believe the good Lord help me find this website.

Thanks Cindee
