Honestly, all I cared about was that I had cancer and I was fearful that I was going to die. Her2 neg./pos. - er/pr neg./pos. ~ it didn't matter to be at all. It was cancer and that's all I needed to know.
Then as time went on and I began to read about and understand my disease I became a bit more fearful BUT way more thankful that herceptin was approved for early stagers the month before I was diagnosed. I started feeling blessed that I was diagnosed when I was.
Basically though - it was cancer to me. Nothing less and nothing more. The big "C" word that I prayed I'd never ever hear.
