I'm reaching out to you ladies with this type of breast cancer for your help.Have any of you been diagnosed without the need for chemotherapy.Thanks in advance.
I'm sorry to hear of your diagnosis but I'm glad you've joined our community as you'll find many others here who are on this journey as well, so you are not alone and I'm sure you'll hear back from some of our members soon.
If you have any questions about your type of breast cancer or would just like to talk things through with someone then you're welcome to get in touch with our cancer nurses on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
The best person to answer your question will be your oncologist as they have a full overview of your diagnosis.
However, we do have some information about Herceptin that may help answer your question. If you'd like to chat things through with one of our nurses ahead of your next appointment then you're most welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040 (Mon-Fri 9 am to 5 pm).
I was diagnosed overly a year ago and my breast cancer was HER2+. I was told one of the reasons it was advisable I had chemo was because of the HER2. I had chemo and Herceptin together. When I finished that chemo I had Herceptin on its own.
As mentioned your oncologist is best to talk to also if you have a breast nurse they may be able to answer some questions in a more timely manner.
