@lilyanne Welcome to the forum that nobody wants to join but you will feel supported through your journey.
I had a bilateral (one primary tumour in each boob) ER+ HER2+ grade 2 one side and ER+ grade 1 the other. I had lumpectomy with sentinel node biopsy on both sides, followed by 12 weekly Paclitaxel with Herceptin continued for a year, radiotherapy then Letrozole and Zoledronic acid. I was 54 when diagnosed in 2023. Just recently stopped Letrozole and swapping to Exemestane.
As @bigpickle has already mentioned there is a very active and supportive thread of HER2+ and need some buddies. Here’s the link if you want to join
When you start chemo you may also like to join the monthly chemo starters thread and be with others going through chemo at the same time as you. I was on two threads as I thought I was having chemo first then my planned changed to surgery first. I found it really supportive. Here’s a link to March 2025
I hope you appointment went well today and you can move onto your next stage. I cold capped with Paclitaxel and kept most of my hair, the company [Paxman ](https://coldcap.com/ have a fantastic website with great information if you are considering it. As well as a charity called Cancer Hair Care. The pink names are link to their website.
I hope this helps.
