My Profile/ Its Scary

[dawn]

Hi, I've just been diagnosed in March 2006 with infiltrating ductal carcinoma, 5.5cm stage 3 with 8/18 positive nodes. Im er+ and PR+ also her2nu+++. It gets a little confusing trying to figure out what the doctors are telling you. Im on my5/6 chemo treatments, ac and taxotere. I'll be getting 25 rads and will alsp be getting herceptin and hormone therapy. So far there is no NED but Im scared like you wouldn't believe. I have and 5 year old son and and daughter who just turned 2. I plan and pray that I can watch them grown into healthy happy adults but sometimes its hard. They say the younger you are the more agressive the cancer. I had my left breast removed on my41st birthday. But Im also getting conflicting stories on the er+, pr+ and her2 nu. It means a more agressive cancer but a more treatable one. Am I getting this right or am I totally off base. Any support and help would be appreciated. Thanks Dawn
