Being stage IV here, diagnosed at 47 and having to worry every day about whether I'm going to live and see my little girl grow up, I"d say to you . ..do the chemo. Her2 is agressive and the fact that you are young and have many more years to live is a factor. Sure the months that you are on chemo will not be fun but they are bearable, just think of it as an insurance policy for your future health. They will go by quicker than you think. If you do nothing and it does come back, you will feel awful. Be agressive with your treatment of this agressive form of cancer. .. my opinion..sherryg
