I am a Dane who has just discovered your site/support group and hope to solicit your help.
I have had a mastechtomy of my right breast and have 4/21 lymph nodes affected. I have been diagnosed HER2,2+. A fish-test is currently being done to determine whether my cancer is predominantly +1 or +3. Depending on the results I will possibly be offered participation in a trial re. prevantative use of herceptin.
In any case, with HER2, I have a predisposition for recurrence. I have used diet strategically to combat many things and am now a vegan. I can't help wondering, is there "only" medication, or can we influence things ourselves, i.e. have you come across anything that indicates one can influence the activity level of the HER2 receptors, the environmentent the her2-based cancer needs etc. I see many opinions online but little solid guidance.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Warm wishes
Jeannette
