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?
FLClover said:Reflection is good to help us understand why we got it, and therefore fix the root cause. This is an unpopular opinion but I’ll say it anyway: I believe we get illness due to lifestyle and other external causes, and no, I don’t think we intentionally do things to get it. It’s ridiculous to even have to say I don’t think that, as no one wants illness. But it is because of either lifestyle, diet, external toxins etc. This is a good thing because it means we have the power to change those things, heal, and prevent recurrence. I don’t like the idea that I was ‘just unlucky’. That doesn’t go down well with me. I like knowing I can change what I think caused it to be healthier and happier in future. There’s actual science to back this up. Not ‘quacks’, but reputable and highly qualified and experienced cancer specialists. This is why I think reflection is good.Anyway, I just hope we each find our way and not have to deal with this ever again.
