Hi everyone, l am new to the community, and would like some thoughts from anyone in the same predicament. My results came back two were negative for her2 and one just over the borderline for her2 positive, chemotherapy could only be a small benefit to me, do l put myself through chemotherapy or just go with radiotherapy and hormone treatment, l have a fews days to decide. Thank you

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and sorry to hear about the challenges you are facing.

    Can I direct you to this link to our very supportive Breast cancer group as this will open up your concerns to a wider audience who know exactly what you are going through at the moment.

    Just follow the link I have created then hit the ‘Join This Group’ tab just under the main group name, then go to the 'Start a Discussion' tab and set up your very own Discussion and introduce yourself to the group and ask your questions.

    When you feel up to it try putting some information in your profile. This really helps others when answering. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. Just click on YOUR username, select 'Edit Profile'. Put as much or as little in your profile and you can amend it at any time - you can see members profiles by hitting our forum names.

    All the very best
