My surgeon made me feel like my chances of survival were slim - so by the time I saw an oncologist I was too afraid to ask questions. My only question was "Is this beatable" and he said it was quite beatable. He then told me that I am her-2 positive and that is good news because there are such great drugs to control it. It wasn't until recently that I realized that being Her-2 positive may not have been the best news, I am thankful that you no longer need to have advanced breast cancer to get Herceptin.
