Jenna,
I feared the Her2 much more than the treatment.
I also had a small 6MM tumor, node negative,
clean margins. But please do remember her2 likes to
"Travel" this disease is not a fair player. It is much
easier to treat this monster while contained once
the horse is out of the barn the fight becomes
so difficult.
You will often read on this site how we are all different
and the cancer reacts to each one of us differently, well
the constant thing about her2 is that it is nasty. Don't be shy
with this.....I did choose to treat with full guns and
I will share with you I still live in fear....Also please do keep
in mind that there is a new generation of her2 early stagers,
the results of which are still not out. The last year or so
many early stagers have chosen to take treatment and
we will learn more as time passes. Hopefully we may see
less recurrence and stop this disease in its tracks. I do
know that Dr. Slamon told me that chemo works well with
herceptin and who knows that using the chemo with the early stagers
may just be our winning ticket? No one has any answers just yet.
Wishing you the best,
Jean
