I'm sorry you find yourself here. It's a scary rollercoaster to start with, but it sounds like you have had luck finding good people to help you navigate through this time. So important for your happiness and peace of mind. I've been public all the way through and have been treated with great professionalism, care and good humour.
My cancer is Her2 positive too and the good news is that there are some great new treatments for this type of cancer which was not the case ten years ago. The bad news is that it means chemotherapy and a year of Herceptin but both are doable. I'm nearly out the other side, have finished chemo and halfway through radiation.
If you have any questions I'd be happy for you to message me. I can point you to a great study being done on our treatment which is showing great long term results.
Also there is a post on here in Tests and Treatments about the cold therapy I and others used during Taxol/Paclitaxel chemo that many people think helps you to avoid neuropathy side effects. I was lucky to come through with no lasting neuropathy using it. Its worth a read.
Good Luck!
