Hello Smudge24, 

It must be such a stressful time for you at the moment as you have just received your diagnosis of HER2 positive and ER positive invasive breast cancer but are still waiting for these important MRI results. It must be confusing for you to still have this uncertainty about treatment and to be waiting to know for sure whether you will have chemotherapy or surgery first. I hope that you can get some clarity on that soon. 

I hope that you will hear from others here who have had a similar diagnosis and that they will share with you what treatment they had and in which order. I've had a little look around the forum for you and found for example Norasand 's thread from a couple of months ago which may be relevant to you and which you are welcome to respond to. Pippin24 also commented on that thread mentioning that she was offered chemotherapy first and was also ER+ and HER2+. I hope that they will pop by on your thread and post their experiences or don't hesitate to comment on that thread or any other relevant thread on the forum. 

If you would like to talk things through with our nurses, the free number to call is 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

I hope that you find out more soon about what the best option for you might be and that you get a treatment plan in place and it all goes well for you. Keep us updated if you get a chance!

Best wishes,
