Thank you, Christine

for telling your story, it encourages me a lot! With two little kids I also want to see them grow, so I wish you well and hope for the best in the future!

Hi

Christine I have just found this post after your kind reply to me on breastcancercare website.

Your story is truly inspirational to the newly diagnosed such as myself. It is a shame that in the UK our BC forums don't contain such inspirational categories.

Pointing me to this website is also useful, as I know a couple of other people who have BC, but none are HER2+, and when I mentioned it have given me an "oh dear, you're even worse off than me" expression. Which scares me even more.

I was only diagnosed July this year, so haven't even started my Herceptin yet (pre-op chemo currently - yuk).

Thanks again Christine for posting your story, it holds out so much help for those of us earlier on the journey.
