How lucky she is to have a sister like you! Feeling the way she does is quite normal. When you receive the diagnosis of breast cancer it does something to you both physically, mentally, and emotionally. Ativan will help with her anxiety and also will help a little if she is nauseated. I know each roud of chemo I felt different - sometimes on side effects and sometimes lots of effects. Being HER2 is not the end of the world. Herceptin is a wonderful drug and most women take it for one year. I know that there are long time survivors on this board who can offer more insight. As for losing her hair - it is traumatic. Try making it fun. You can always get different styles and colors of wigs. I myself wore my wig about 2 times. I much prefered to wear hats. My hair has started growing back and it might be 1/2 inch now. I no longer even wear a hat. Please try and get your sister to have a positive outlook (I know that's hard) and also if she was religious she may find some great comfort in her religion. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
