Waiting for chemo!!

Yay, never thought I would be happy to see an Oncologist!!! After 3 days of many phone calls to hospital, breast nurses at clinic, doctors and even the central referral centre!! so stressful and not bloody fair I'm having to deal with trying to get an appointment sorted out so I can start chemo and get on with my life! Anyway eventually got a phone call to go in on Monday 6 August to see Oncologist. I must have sounded like I'd won lotto! so happy to just know when the next step is happening. I f anyone can give me any tips what to ask the oncologist that would be awesome. I've read some articles on chemo and it's freaking me out, the unknown. Also, has anyone experienced any side effects from the Herceptin injections that I will also need. Another thing, I'm finding pretty annoying is along with all the support out there from friends why do some people try and tell you to drink some special herbal tea or try all these alternative natural so called cures. I don't want chemo, anymore than anyone else out there but surely you have to trust the conventional medicine over alternative that, frankly, have never been proven to work. I'm feeling like I caused this cancer with comments also on how my toothpaste, chemicals in the home etc caused this to happen to me. Honestly, Arn't we all exposed to chemicals, car fumes etc etc etc even these wonderful people that think they are so good using all these expensive natural remedies for everything, that it would never happen to them!! Sorry, on a bit of a rant, great to talk to all you guys out there.
