Gosh, I feel really stupid - but I don't understand a lot of what I read sometimes with all the terms for cancer - guess that's what happens when you get diagonosed with cancer in another country (and language!) ugh!

Keep seeing this AI - and need to do more research I can see but I feel like hours a day get sucked away by reading on the internet --- and to talk to my doctor here about it is difficult as she does speak some english, but I find I speak to her in Italian and she understand much better ---- and my Italian isn't that great!

But am I the only one who feels dumb, or overwhelmed with all this information and medical language???

Is there a HER-2 for dummies - link out there for us? :-)

Thanks - I feel better already just admitting it! Thank god for this support group - as this has already proved to be a life line for me!
