I felt that Her2 was a death sentence. I also felt I had five years left. As treatment progressed and I learned more from this Forum and my medical team, the fears lessened. I'm very hopeful, and I trust that your wife will feel the same in time. As you know, she is definitely wrong statistically. I also took an antidepressant for the first time in my life, and I'm glad I did.
