Hi there i am new to this board, i was diagnosed with multifocal breast cancer (IDC) in August last year, i have since undergone 4 x FEC and 4 x Taxotere, i was not brave enough to speak to my oncologist about my path report at the time of surgery so i asked him yesterday on my last day of chemo and i was so saddened to hear i had 7/14 nodes positive and am her2 positive er- pr+, he wants to use Tamoxifen because of the pr status and also Zolodex to put my ovaries to sleep, he has also asked if i will enter the Hera trial to see if giving Herceptin in early bc will benefit, this has freaked my out as i was hoping to have reconstruction and i dont know if this will effect my chances of that, also ill have to keep my hickman line in for however long i get accepted, if i get that arm of the trial...i am so scared i thought i was dealing with having bc but to be told this is like being diagnosed over again...please somebody tell me what the reality is of being hera2 positive and also the amount of lymph nodes involved, is there any long term survivors and more importantly is this cured atall????? i have a young son i am 31 and live in London, please help me before i go mad....
Love to all
