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

  • Back from my results appt.  Good news, MRI was showed nothing else aprt from two stringy bits leading to my nipple, they are not sure what they are - could be entirely benign as MRI is so sensitive so have to wait now for another ultrasound appt to see if need another biopsy.  Results of that will determine lumpectomy or mastectomy and if I need chemo will depend on clear margins and sentinal node biopsy result.  My HER2 was back and I am negative which is great.  Just back to waiting again.

  • Really pleased about your good news-hope your feeling much better now and can wait final details of treatment plan x
