Re: Newbie to this HER2+

HI Lori,

I am so sorry that you have been diagnoses. Sounds like you have caught the beast early (great news) and you have a tx plan in place. The scans are routine and are good for your onc to have as a baseline. Scans can make us feel very anxious. My onc gave me a rx for ativan. I would take 1mg an hour or so before a scan appt. and it helped take the edge off of my anxiousness.

Great news on your brca results! There will be ups and downs on the journey and this is a wonderful place to come with questions or fears or whatever!

Hang in there and know that you aren't alone in this.

Hugs and Prayers,
Lexi
