Could anyone talk about their experience with her2+/ triple positive therapy
I don't feel I have the courage or strength for this disease. I watched my mom, aunt and young grandfather all suffer and pass. I'm so overwhelmed. I want to run.
HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer is a subtype of breast cancer characterized by the overexpression of the HER2 protein, which helps control how cancer cells grow and divide. Here are some key points about HER2-positive breast cancer:
- Prevalence: Up to 20% of people with breast cancer have HER2-positive tumors

I have positive hers as well. This whole thing is screwing me up
I just finished my last round of chemo (Tchp) for her2 positive hr negative idc(stage 2, grade 3). It wasn’t fun, but you can get through it. I really didn’t think I could deal with it all initially, but here I am at the end of chemo. I still have surgery ahead of me in 5 weeks. You are stronger than you think- you can do it!
It is overwhelming, but once all the initial tests and appts are done, and a treatment plan decided on and put in place, for most of us the anxiety shifts from all the worries of the unknown, to the "can I handle this" anxiety. Once the first chemo is done, a lot of those worries get smaller. For most us, the actual experience of chemo turns out not to be as bad as our imaginations were preparing us for. Keeping you in prayers that this is your experience as well. Hugs! (HER2+, Stage 2a, Grade 3 for me)
