Cosmicdust - what a lovely choice of name
I have had a very quick skim over your posts and see nothing relating to diet.
I know it sounds unlikley that humble food could make a difference but what you eat can signficantly alter you gene expression profile including maybe HER 2.
Fats omega three and six have a signifcant role to play. There are lots of posts you can find using search above. (click on search on purple bar above and enter search term) The Greek Diet has a lot of information on one thread. Trials suggest that getting adequate levels of long chain omega threes (and in some instances sixes) is very important. There is a hint that herceptin could block pathways FAS that allow the body to make long chain fats which would make it even more important. A trial in France showed women that excised lumps were 70% approx less likely to be cancerous in the third with highest high levels of long chain omega three fats (found in fish oil)
Fats play a very big role in the liver.
A trial on brain tumours suggested they had much higher omega six and lower three.
It is recognised that diet can reduce risk profiles.
Please excuse my post if you already have diet or information overload.
Please do discuss any dietary changes with your advisors as fats are powerful, and there are limited side effects for particular groups eg bllod thinning. You can always print out links etc and take them along.
I hope things start getting better for you soon.
