I am no expert by any means as I am going down this road just a tad ahead of you.

I looked into Mayo and MD Anderson, based on “my diagnosis”. I have the standard of care that seems to be the tried and true that works. My team was pretty steadfast that the sooner you start treatment the better your chances are with a fast growing cancer. The longer you wait the lower your percentage of a 99% survival rate becomes.
I will say I begged, prayed, called in favors from family above that my HER2 was negative. That being said, mine was positive and because of that and being estrogen/progesterone positive I am stage 2 with one mass and clean lymph nodes.

I had my surgery planned also, but a positive HER2 diagnosis changes the order. I totally get it and I was told with the “cocktail” I have there is a 99% chance of beating this and it not coming back! HER2 is faster growing so it is more receptive to chemo.

I say bring it on!!! I can deal with just about anything for a short period of time. Heck I birthed two babies and raised them. This is gonna be a cake walk!

It is all about attitude. Or that’s my stance. I don’t like the alternative!!!

You’ve GOT THIS!!!

Watch Living Proof, have a box of tissues!!! It helps to understand a bit about those who paved the road for us!!!

Tits UP, be a warrior!!!
