Hi Dear. I am sorry to her that you are going through this. I think the first days and weeks are the hardest. Wrapping your head around. The diagnosis and all the uncertainties that goes along with this. I found once I had a good treatment plan in place and a great medical team, I felt a bit better. It's perfectly normal to be blindsided and have down feelings. It's all a process. I am also er/ pr negative and her2 strongly positive. I was literally hit over the head with my diagnosis almost 8 years ago. Thankfully Herceptin had just been made available ( for non met cases ). Despite poor prognosticators I am now well and living life large. You will too, time will pass, treatments will be memories, you will wake up without thinking of first of BC and you will get through it.
God Bless.
Linda
