Does anyone skip hormone therapy after HER2+ breast cancer?

I’m reading this comments & worried about the after! Diagnosis is HER2+ in left breast with 1 lump node affected! Just had my 2nd chemo treatment yesterday & will have 6 total then surgery. No mention of radiation yet. I’m reading all these horror stories of the “after” meds & I’m wondering if anyone has declined them & gone with the natural supplements instead? I’m hearing Soursop, Turkey Tail, Brocshot & Essiac Tea, anyone taken that route???

Treatment decisions after chemotherapy can feel overwhelming, especially when reading about different experiences online. It's completely natural to have concerns about what comes next in your treatment journey. Many patients in this community have wrestled with similar questions about their post-treatment options and have found it helpful to discuss their specific concerns with their oncology team, who can provide personalized guidance based on individual medical factors. Consider writing down your questions and concerns to bring to your next appointment - your medical team wants to help you make informed decisions that feel right for your situation.

Natural supplements are a great addition but I would not forgo conventional meds.

Oh I do not intend to, just looking for clarity for after treatments on all these options being referred to me. I do not want to do anything to impede my progress!!!
