Hi Janokee and welcome,

I'm so sorry you have to join us but glad you found us.
Herceptin has changed the dire prognosis many of us had, and you'll be encouraged to see there are many long term survivors here at all stages thanks to this drug.
I found chemo to be easier than I expected although certainly no picnic!! Please know there are many here to answer and help any questions you may have.
Good luck with the rest of your tests and I'm looking forward to getting to know you better
