Dear susan,
Sorry to hear you're joining this group but it's a great group full of great advice and support until like your lousy husband.
Definitely do the chemo, radiation and Herceptin. During chemo, you'll be tired and I'm amazed Becky could drive during it, I couldn't. Sometimes doctors think every week is easier on the body to take the chemo, some think every 3 weeks, talk that over with your doc. hope you've got a good oncologist and a sympathetic one. during chemo and radiation don't take vitamins or supplements - someone else on the site can tell you the few that are helpful and that you can take but mostly you don't want anything to fight the chemo.
You won't be a burden to your sister.
yours has been caught early so you'l be fine, just do everything they say.
be strong and stay positive,
sarah
