HER2 positive diagnosed Dec 24 -

49 fit and healthy and then what the!  Noticed a dimple in left breast, straight to Dr, all the tests and within 18 days was having my first round of chemo 2 days after Christmas. 2 cm lump left breast, HER2 3+ positive, they don’t believe it is in my lymph nodes just one enlarged from the biopsy. Just finished 2nd of 6 rounds of chemo. Then plan is a lumpectomy, radio and then endocrine therapy. Reading all the threads of HER2 positive it seems like a long road ahead. Did anyone choose a double mastectomy to avoid issues in the future? Would love any suggestions, advice, feedback for anyone going through a similar journey.
