Hi Annette, it is very confronting being told you have cancer. I had her2+ grade 3 idc also. I was hormone negative. I had 6 months chemo, 33 radiotherapy sessions and 12 months herceptin. Its a hard slog but you will get through it.

That way I was able to keep people informed without having to go over the same thing over and over again and without having to deal with their emotions. It's not for everyone but it worked for me. Do what's right for you. Take one day at a time. All the very best for your treatment. Karen xox
