Hi Kim, Wonderful comments from BCNA a members above. I was diagnosed with HER2+ in Sept 2012. Right breast mastectomy in Dec 2012. Chemo for 6 months in 2013 with Herceptin until July 2014. Reconstruction Dec, 2014 with nipple surgery to finish sometime in 2015. I have a blog about my experience especially when going through chemo and side effects and what worked best. I found my girl friends and church were best support with direct answers to prayer needs. I am now down to 6 monthly visits with my Oncologist. My husband was pretty hopeless at being any sort of help as I am the strong one in the family (with 2 teenagers). After my last visit to the Oncologist, my husband asked "How did it go with him?" My reply "Fine except my Oncologist has been a woman for the last 2 years.". Ugg. Gotta laugh. I found the blogs on this BCNA site EXTREMELY helpful, gutsy and thankfully very honest. Happy to have a chat (I can call you for free after 6pm). Just inbox me if you need some company. Keep looking up. Rgds. Sharon, Wollongong
