Hi Rinaina

I to am er/pr-and her2+. When I talked to my onc for the first time and was very concerned about this her thought was not to be upset because we have Herceptin and triple negatives do not. I am so thankful to be dianosed now and have Herceptin. I believe the more studies that come in on Herceptin and early stage breast cancer are really good, 50% reduction in recurrences! I too worry a lot. My motto lately "Worry less and trust God more". We can beat this girlfriend.
