Treatment for Her2+ breast cancer

Posted by lban05 @lban05, Jun 25, 2025

Has anyone had Stage 1 Her2+ breast cancer and not done the recommended treatment of chemo and the targeted drug after a mastectomy?

She does not want chemo. She hasn’t had any children yet. Did your doctor recommend chemo? She is just desperately trying to find somewhere that would do a chemo, free treatment and hopefully be effective.

@sbrown96, there are various fertility preservation options that may be available for your daughter before she undergoes cancer treatment. You might find this article helpful:

Different cancer treatments can affect fertility, not just chemotherapy. She should talk to her oncologist and a fertility specialist as soon as possible. A fertility specialist can help her understand her options, answer questions and serve as her fertility advocate during treatment.

How is she doing? What treatment has been suggested for her?
