Hi Susan
When I was first diagnosed my surgeon said "The bad news is that you are Her2+++, then he said "The good news is that you're Her2+++" I was confused but he laughed and told me about Herceptin. He said he thanks God for this new drug, it's like a miracle and a major break through in breast cancer studies. He was genuinely excited about it. So, I guess it's not as bad as it was before the use of Herceptin. Thankfully, we have people working to help find new treatments.
Good luck to you and try not to worry to much. (I'm a good one to talk about worrying! LOL)
