I think you are so brave and courageous. You have such beautiful 'bubs". Your asking the right questions and keep asking them until you get an answer that you understand.
Her2, is more aggressive, but with Herceptin, well lets' just say it's been a miracle for us. I don't know about stress and Her2 correlation or even if there is one, but as the others have pointed out, try and breathe and just take one day at a time. I know easier said then done. But I think that is one of the gifts this illness gives us, time to ponder and rejoice in the little things that we so often take for granted.
You might want to post, because I am not up on the latest news on the BRICG or HERA trial, but I don't remember FEC combo being one that was used? It might very well be just as good as AC-TH or TC-H. It might be worth asking about. That is what came to my mind when I read your post. My sincere best to you.
