breastcancer.org provides discussion boards where you can find support and answers for many of your questions and concerns...Here no question is trivial and no worry is cast aside.

Her2Support When this website was launched on December 24th 2001, the breast cancer patient who was HER2 positive was pitied and was told: "your cancer is aggressive and your prognosis is poor". Recent advances in treatment has reversed this outlook and now patients live longer and enjoy a much better quality of life than ever before. Find support and information here.
