Hi Sue,
Glad to hear that all is going well. My diagnosis is quite similiar to yours. Like you, I was considering alternative treatments. I have seen numerous oncologists and only one has recommended proceeding with chemo and Herceptin. I have chosen to proceed and my first treatment is scheduled for next Thursday. Today I am feeling scared and questioning my decision. Warm Regards...
