I just joined today. I found this site while doing research the day after we were told the small little BC that may not even need chemo was actually HER2 +. Needless to say the treatment plan changed. After the double mastectomy, my wife will have TCH every three weeks for 6 cycles and Herceptin for a year. This will put off reconstruction and full hysterectomy. Our world has been turned upside down and this is just the beginning. I could really use some support from folks that have been down this same road. Our friends have been great but they don't really understand what it is we are facing. Her story is a little different.
Who has had this same treatment? Good and bad things to come? What do you say when your wife is crying because she is scared to death?
Also, this all started off to be elective due to gene testing. However, BC showed up between the time she decided to be proactive and her surgery. See our full story:
