First Oncology Visit

[Tracy]

Met with my onc today, he said I am her2 positive, all 4 of the lymph nodes he took have cancer in them, now I have to have a ct scan, bone scan, heart test and start chemo on 12/1. He said I have to heal a bit from the 3 surgeries I had in the past 2 weeks. I am just praying it has not spread out of the lymph nodes. This is such a scary thing. Has anyone else had positive nodes without it spreading that is her2 pos and er/pr neg?

He was a wonderful man and I have heard one of the best breast cancer docs in the state. He said even if it has spread it will be a chronic illness, not a death sentence. My husband fell apart today, it really hit him after being there with me. The dr gave me a script for a wig, said I will def lose my hair. Hard to deal with all of this.
