Hi @JuneXie, I am just middle of my chemo with the same cancer type- both hormonal positive and her2 negative. 5.5cm tumor with 1 lymph note involved. I must say I was thinking the same thing but now I can feel my cancer area is a lot softened.
My oncologist ordered 2 stages of chemotherapy and the first one was hard. It lasted 8 weeks - 4 times every two weeks. Then I am on the second stage of chemo and it is milder for me. My surgeon saying this second around is the one really killing cancer cells.
I believe you will have similar standard treatment as I am going through. I have 10 more chemo left- once a week, then surgery- Mastectomy, then radio therapy and hormonal therapy
please get any help as much as you can around House work and have some friends around you. Hope everything goes well for you
