To treat or not to treat VERY early stage HER2 IDC

[bev618]

I was not given a choice as to whether or not I wanted to do only the Herceptin; and I am not sure how I would of reacted. I did 'fight', but only midly to not have chemo but when I sat down and thought of the end results, it was a no brainer for me. I have a 23 year old son that I want to see get married and have children, and I didn't want to have to go through this again, if that is a possibility. So tomorrow I have my second infusion (Taxotere/Carboplatin/Herceptin) and will be 1/3 of the way done with the chemo (total of 6 cycles) and then will continue on the Herception for one year. And yes, I have lost all of my hair, but it is hair, and I found the cutest wig that I am getting more compliments on.....ummmm not sure how to take that, but it is all good! Positive attitude and life is good!! Maybe I will feel different after my 4/5/6th treatments but I am good now and that is all that matters. My 2 cents worth.
