Her 2 for the second time
Hi there, I have just been diagnosed with my second Her 2 cancer after 6 years NED, however this time it was hormone negative DCIS. Does anyone know if you can have Herceptin for DCIS?

The mention of the cortisol hormone never really gets a mention in breast cancer world, and its role it plays and raised levels gets ignored. It seems scary that we have to pretend that cortisol does not factor into the role it plays on the immune system and developing breast cancer cells.
Yeah this cortisol thing, I heard from one video and I was really concerned. We all cope differently regarding stress. And stress can affect our hormones and make us miss a period. So I am not surprised if stress causes hormones to go crazy and affect our breast cells.
Our body can respond differently to stress too. I have a friend who gets very bad acid reflux when she is under work stress, so bad that she has to be hospitialised.
