Re: Help!!!

I am so sorry to hear what you have had to face. Unfortunately, I do not have any advice on the options that you were given. I am shocked at what your oncologist said. I have a friend who is Her2 + and she recurred as well. I wanted to let you know that she has been NED for quite a while now post-recurrence and is doing really well. I see that you are in Toronto, I am in Ottawa. I wanted to let you know about Rethink Breast Cancer in case you had not heard of them. They run programs for women with breast cancer who were diagnosed under 45. I volunteer with them here in Ottawa. Please give them a call if you have not already. They can be very helpful! Just Google them and you can find their contact info. I will be praying for you and wish you a lifetime with NED. Take care.
