Hi mom22girlz, Bring a pen and pad and ask any and all questions you have about your concerns. Believe it or not I was more nervous about starting Herceptin than chemo. Even though I wanted the Herceptin. Strange as this may sound, I thought I would want to celebrate my last chemo but instead had a very weird feeling. I actually cried. Felt like my safety net was gone. The onc. nurse told me that was very normal. I was also dx grade 2/3 HER2 ++ and ER+ & PR+.Take a deep breath. I will say a prayer for you. Pleae let me know how you make out. I was dx 4/05, had a modified mastectomy, 6 rounds of CAF chemo, then started Herceptin in Jan. I get that every 3 weeks. Talk to you soon. Hugs, Liz J.
