Hello, I am a HER2 gal too. At almost a year, I'm doing VERY good! Just thought I'd let you know!!

Good Luck Cassie! May I suggest no caffeine before the MRI, if you are very nervous call your PCP and get a mild sedative. I wish I had. Ask the facility if they have an open or closed MRI. You should get your results by the next day. Take care.

Welcome to the site. I think that you will find this a friendly place to come when you need to sound off or vent from anger. We are all here to listen and help, if we can, because at some point and time in each of our lives we have been in your situation. Please don't be afraid to ask questions either. No question on this site is silly or dumb. We all have questions we would like other opinions on or answers to. There are so many nice people here that it has helped me get through my fears I had when I was DX'd with DCIS. Good luck in the future.

I think a "small touch of cancer" may be like "being a little bit pregnant"...you must understand exactly what your surgeon meant by that...we can speculate but your testing will give you the answers you need..I do want to welcome you to the site...there is a wealth of information and experience here and people ready to help and support you...just let us know what you need...please let us know how you make out. Good luck and God bless,

Sorry you are dealing with the dreaded C word. I see you are in Ohio, I live near Cleveland.
