Re: Stage 3a her-2+ breast cancer is 85 % curable
Joletta,
Your photo and children are beautiful.
It is only normal in the early stages to have strong feelings of fear. Please know your onc. gave you good advice. Herceptin has changed the odds for all of us.
Also Remember not everyone will recur - along with the better odds that we now have. Also, new treatments and trials are coming forward each year. Do your part
of getting your rest, eating as best as you can, exercise.
Time is a big helper in relaxing your fears. Soon enough you will be posting to us your 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5th etc. etc.
years out.
Sending you best wishes filled with lots of good energy.
Jean
