Hi Catherine,
You've come to a wonderful place. There are many terrific women here that are very knowledgable, but most of all very supportive and caring. You will have a lot of help navigating through this. We have a very similar dx- there are many informative threads on er/pr + and - . You should be able to do a search and they will be accessible.
Things have come a long way for Her2+ people- with Herceptin and many other new treatments, there is alot to be positive about. Many women here will inspire you and lift you up.
Love, Kelly
