Hi Lammerknowes
Welcome to the forum.
This time last year I was grade 3 her2neg, erpostitve and prpositive. I had lumpectomy with sentinels removed. I had chemo, radiotherapy and now on hormone suppressants. I get 6 monthly bone infusions for 3 years.
I have been where you ate and it's a worry. However when you know exactly what your facing and treatment plan, you can take back an element of control.
It's great what treatments are available now.
I wish you well in your recovery. Happy to answer questions on my journey if it's helpful.
