Newbie, 27, no kids, HER2+ Breast Cancer

Hi there,
The study sounds really interesting, I'll have to ask my oncologist if there's anything like that in NSW. He seems to think that it shouldn't be an issue me coming off tamoxifen after a couple of years to try for kids, so fingers crossed.
The port seemed to have settled. I hate it. It's so uncomfortable - not painful, just really awkward. But it does make chemo waaaaaaay easier as I discovered this last session, so definitely a silver lining.
I'm finding a month/year planner really useful, and crossing off days is a very good visual reminder of how far I've come already and how quickly the time's going.
Have you started herceptin yet? And if so, how are you finding it? I start in a couple of weeks, and although I've been told it has less side effects and that some of the nausea I've been experiencing with the other chemo drugs should go away, I'm nervous.
Thanks for getting in touch. How are you doing? Thinking of you too.
