Dear Susan
You are in the right place. All the people on this board either have Her2+ breast cancer or are caring for someone who does. Half of us are ER/PR+ and the other half are like you (with negative hormone receptors).
Your prognosis will be excellent if you get the chemo, rads and herceptin - especially since you are node negative.
The treatment will not be a burden to your sister or her family. You will be more tired than usual but maybe not. I have had this same treatment as you (lumpectomy, chemo, rads, herceptin) and I honestly could have lived alone and taken care of myself if I didn't have family. I could also have driven myself to and from chemo as well (but its nice to have some company).
It is a shame about your husband. I am sorry about that.
If you have any questions, please let us know by posting and we will be there for you in this journey.
Kindest regards
Becky
