Treatments 

After I found out I had cancer I did what every single one of you did, I sat down in front of a computer and opened google. Reading about HER2 is scary because every website you go to reminds you that it is the most aggressive form of breast cancer. Months later and in the middle of treatment I still get sick to my stomach re-reading information about HER2 but really we are pretty lucky thanks to the drug herceptin. I write a lot about why we are lucky and how grateful I am that Dr. Dennis Slamon at UCLA worked so tirelessly to create herceptin. If you can get your hands on a copy of the movie Living Proof with Harry Connick Jr. watch it. In the end it will leave you feeling the same way I do. This page is not to give you the specific medical information that you can find elsewhere, it is to give you more insight into what to expect of the treatment you will be receiving.
