Hello

I've not been on here for a while as struggled with my dark thoughts after diagnosis. I'm her2 positive with a couple of lymph nodes involved. I've started neoadjuvant chemotherapy and my oncologist has prescribed 8 cycles???? I cant seemto find anyone having 8, usually 6 so its freaked me out again  x
