Hi Cal Gal,
Welcome and of course I am deeply sorry that you have been dx. but you will find a great amount of support and knowledge here.

I was thinking as I read your post how amazing life is.
How life unravels, you move to the West to start a new job and then you are dx. As it turns out you have the comfort of being with your daugher. The difficult part of treatment is behind you as herceptin is a much easier treatment plan.

Adriana's advice is right on target. Herceptin will do it's job and you will do your part now, exercise even if it is just walking, the mind helps to heal the body. While finding a job and selling the house is vital, remember at the end of the day "you are the most important" the job will come and the house will sell. Don't allow that to stress you, now is your time to heal and allow herceptin to do its job.

Best Wishes and Prayers are being sent to you.
Jean
