I recently had a lumpectomy (9/12/08) Stage one invasive -lymph nods - negative. But found out my cancer is Her2Nu positive. I am scared! My doctor has recommended radiation and then Herceptin. I do not know much about it. I am knew to this support group and would like to here from others.

Kindertender....welcome to the group...please repost on maybe the newcomers site. I am in a hurry today....just start your own thread, so that we can all see that you are new. You may not get much response on this thread where I found you.

Hugs, Catherine

I read this with deep sadness...another soldier gone. But thank you for sharing this with us as I learned a lot I didn't know about her.
