Hi @Jano
There is a private group on here Living With Metastatic Breast Cancer you can ask to join.
This will al be a huge emotional roller coaster for you so I repeat what my GP told me when I was diagnosed with breast cancer - take someone trusted to all the early important medical appointments as you won’t take everything in .
Breast cancer treatment has come a long way in recent years and new discoveries and clinical trials are happening all the time .
There are ladies who have lived a long time with stage 4 breast cancer and HER 2 is a type that has a number of possible “ lines” of treatment.
There are lots of resources on here and don’t hesitate to call the helpline.
Also , consider getting some counselling from someone who specialises in cancer related distress - your medical team should be able to refer you .
Take deep breaths and accept the many offers of help that will come .
Take care 🌺
