help me help her
Hi everyone,
My name is nelli and my mother recently found out she has breast cancer. it is HER2 estrogen postive grade 3 in left breast, in right breast her2 estrogen and progesterone positive grade 3. i have no idea what this means.
She has already had surgery to remove the tumors.
her dr is suggesting Taxotere, Carboplatin + Herceptin (every three weeks for 6 cycles) 18 weeks
Herceptin (every week for a year)
Femarin Pill for 5 years.
Radiation after the 18 weeks of Chemo for 6 1/2 weeks on both breasts.
I have no idea what we are all doing here. My brother and i are estranged, i just started to develop a good relationship with my mom and dad.
From what i hear cancer treatment is hardcore to say the LEAST, and im pretty sure my mom and my dad are going to need me, and i just want to be prepared....can you help me a lil?
