Oh my. How to find words that will adequately describe what a website such as Her2support does for the emotional, physical, and mental well being of those of us with Her 2+ breast cancer? In a word, it is
priceless.
When I
first met with my onc (2002), he was explaining all kinds of things to me and my husband...it was all so new and hard to digest, but when he said the words "this type of cancer is more apt to come back" I totally froze and heard no more. Suddenly my "everything will be alright" attitude, turned to terror.
I am the type of person that asks a lot of questions, but I now had more questions than there were answers for so I went online in search of what this Her2+ breast cancer was all about. Thankfully I found this website, although in 2002 I believe it had a different name or address, I can't recall those details.
I quickly discovered that I had found the gold mine for all my questions, searches, and needs of all sorts. People in need of this website were
all in the same boat with the same questions, fears, hopes, and dreams. It was our lifeline, and still is.
This site offers an assortment of information to its members and guests. The message board is wonderful but so is everything else...articles, trials, news, current research and so much more.
It really is hard to put into words just how much this website means to myself and so many others. Joe's gift to Christine turned into a gift for thousands more, and for that we are forever grateful.
