Luv2Run

Hi Luv2Run. How are you doing with your expanders? I hope you are healing up okay after the bilateral mx. Surgery and then chemo...some say it sounds like heaven. Hang in there girlfriend! You are probably scared about your upcoming chemo. I think the anticipation was worse than the chemo itself. Mostly because you don't know what to expect. I'm hoping that you sail right through it. I see that your chemo is on Nov 23rd. I have it on my calendar so if you feel some positive thoughts coming your way from California, that's me. Lots of hugs, Jamie

Hi Luv2Run - welcome to the forum, so glad you joined. But sorry for why! I hope you're coping well with your treatments. I've noticed lately that a lot of women are HER2+ so I recently wrote an article that provides a long list of nutrients that research shows fight against this form of BC and here's the link (in case you haven't seen it): http://marnieclark.com/her-2-positive-know-which-nutrients-help-to-combat-this-form-of-breast-cancer/ Sure hope this helps you! Sending hugs from Denver.

Your early diagnosis and it seems great care is so fortuitous, I was a learning hog, read all the literature including risk factors for my chemo. I had to, original three doctors were not forthcoming with relevant information. I take periodic stupid breaks to keep myself from scaring myself witless. Being born a blond I take genetic advantage :-) Lindy

Hi Luv2Run, that in itself puts you ahead in optimizing your experience. I am also a her2 +. I have high hopes for you, your youth, your stage. I wish for you every advantage, smooth transitions through all you are experiencing and beyond. Lindy
