Who else is HER2 positive?

I was diagnosed with stage 3B HER2 positive breast cancer last year these days. I did mastectomy and found a 4cm tumor and removed 21 lymph nodes (9 of them were affected), I was very lucky and I kept the nipple. Then I did chemotherapy weekly (for 22 weeks), alongside I did immunotherapy with trastuzumab+pertuzumab. After all of these I had radiation therapy every day for 25 sessions and now continuing with immunotherapy (every 3 weeks) till is a full year since I begun. I've been doing every 3 months examinations (mostly mammograms, ultra sounds in the abdoment and breasts and chest), every 6 months we add a brain MRI and CT scans of the abdomen and a bone density measurement. So far my examinations are cancer free!!! I've been struggling with anxiety, depression and insomnia since last February. But with a little help from my friend Chemistry I'm better (antidepressants and other)! I realised that my case was serious and that I had to fight with all my heart and brain! I can say now that I am very optimistic and believe that I will be a positive case and cancer free for the years to come! I have a lot of things to do in life and I will do all of them!!! Hope I helped you and cheered you up! I wish you well and be healthy for the years coming!!! 😊🤞

Lots of hugs!

@chrisoula hi there. I was diagnosed today with category 5 …stage 3. 4cm in size in breast. Thankyou for sharing your journey. I have 7 grandchildren, two live in NSW and I am in Victoria Australia. My saddest thoughts is wondering if I will be well enough to travel. Jest a rough road you had travelled but I like to know what I am on for so I can mentally prepare. So sounds like a year of hell coming
Did you have dizziness before diagnosis. …I have also not felt like food for last couple of weeks prior to even going for scans etc. oh and the last few months I have felt completely drained and napped on the couch most days midd arvo…maybe that a Grammy thing at 55 hahahaha. Thanks again
