Question about chemo for her2+ breast cancer

I was diagnosed last week, and have my first oncology appointment this Thursday. I know I'm getting 9 rounds of chemo (3week breaks inbetween). I'm also getting two targeted medicines. My breast cancer is invasive ductal stage 2/3 and in 3 lymph nodes, her2+ I have my mri on my breasts tomorrow. 
 

but I was wondering as anyone had similar treatment to mine? I will be doing everything my consultant suggests- im trying to read up, but I'm struggling to find similar cases

 

thanks

    Good luck with everything. I have just been diagnosed with stage 3 Her 2 left breast, and stage 2 in right breast. Research shows chemo is best to shrink and control cancer prior to mastectomy, but I have just been booked for a double mastectomy with lymph removal on the 16th May, then chemo and radiotherapy together after. Looking forward to fighting this thing as waiting is a very difficult stage. x
