This is the place to get support and info and love. Someone on this board has been through your diagnosis and everyone here understands and will be totally supportive. The main thing is to take a big deep breath and realize that there has never been more hope for BC than there is right now. A positive attitude and faith there are answers will go a long way. Don't panic---you can do this! Don't be afraid to post often and to ask all the help and answers to questions that you need. We've all helped each other and we will be here for you. Trust your oncologist and other doctors, but do all the research you can. Take someone close with you when you go to the doctor or have tests, take notes and ask lots of questions! Remember, you don't just HAVE cancer, you are FIGHTING cancer! Many of us here have long outlived our doctor's prognosis and we intend to keep fighting. Herceptin is a miracle for her2+ BC; diet can make a difference too. Remember the words of Winston Churchill: "NEVER GIVE UP!" Hugs, Tricia
