to clv, hang in there. everything is so overwhelming and scary in the beginning. i believe in becoming as educated as possible on everything to do with Her2 so that you can become your own best advocate and know the everythng that should be done is being done. i was diagnosed back in march and know will be taking my second chemo treatment with A/C tomorrow and while i can say it is no picnic i have to admit i have felt sicker with a bad upper respiratory infection or a bad flu. i just remind myself when things get a little rough due to treatment that it is the medicine working and killing this breast cancer off. read everything you possibly can on here and focus on all the good stories and positive outcomes and believe that you too will be a positive outcome. your positive attitude and thnking is what will make help you also to get well. without a good outlook you will be sicker i truly believe. write to us as often as you need...there is always someone who can help you on here. i would have been lost without this site. good luck and think positively.
