Three weeks post surgery for stage 2 IDC just found out i will need chemo as HER2 positive, still feeling sore and worried after surgery so any help ,advice or reassurance would be much appreciated.
I'm sorry to hear about your breast cancer diagnosis and the news that you will now need some chemotherapy treatment following your post-surgery results. It's understandable that you're worried.
We've lots of women here on the forum who have been given a HER2 positive result. Hopefully, some of those members will post to share their experiences with you but in the meantime, you use the forum search function at the top of the page to look for the term "HER2" and you'll be able to read through some previous posts.
We have some information on our website about HER2 receptor tests that you might find helpful but I'd also suggest giving our team of nurses a call to chat things through with them. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information, and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040.
I hope that the soreness from your surgery settles soon Norasand. Keep in touch and let us know how you get on.
