    Hi Heddi 

    I was diagnosed with lobular cancer in left breast in March 

    operated 18 th March clear margins & nothing in lymph nodes thankfully so was expecting 4 weeks of radiotherapy .However pathology report came backe Her2 + so the negative I'm 4 cycles down if chemo & 4 to go 

    Positive is there is a target driven drug Herceptin fir this specific cancer but hand in hand with chemo

    Basucalky try to deal with this awful scenario one day at a time
