To All,

I was diagnosed on July 15, 2009 with HER2 positive Breast Cancer. Here are some stats:

Age: 45, mother of 2 boys, age 13 and 9, married
Size 2.5 cm left breast
Grade 3
Stage IIA
8/18 Lumpectomy with sentinal node biopsy
8/18 Clear Margins, clear nodes!!
HER2 positive, ER +, PR +

Scans for next week:
Brain CT
Bone Scan
Echocardiagram

Port placement next Thursday

Begin treatments TCH:

9/16/09 Herceptin
9/17/09 Taxotere, Carboplatin

Treatment: 6 rounds of TC every 3 weeks, Herceptin once a week until chemo is done. Thereafter Herceptin every 3 weeks until 52 weeks have passed in total.

So my fears right now?? The scans. Any information anyone can give with any of this is so appreciated.

I hope that I can be the busy mom that I am through it all!
