Hi there lovely. What a tough few days you've had. I had an estrogen + her2+ cancer. My surgery came 1st followed by chemo but my understanding now is preference if known positive nodes or a little larger then yes chemo and herceptin plus another targeted therapy 1st.
It all feels overwhelming presently and feeling like that it very NORMAL. Where here to answer any questions you have and there is a reconstruction group. The good thing with chemo 1st is you have a little more time to plan surgery. I had to make my decision on day of appointment so it coukd be booked asap.
I just wanted to share ...my niece was in her 30s with a her2+ cancer and she had 10 positive nodes out of 20. Well 16 years on she is still cancer free. So have hope. X
