What's it like having hormone therapy plus HER2-targeted treatment?
Community Member
9 hours agoI have hormone-positive and HER2-positive breast cancer. My oncologist mentioned that hormone therapy combined with HER2-targeted therapy might be a first-line treatment option for me. From what I understand, this approach combines endocrine therapy that blocks hormones with HER2-targeted drugs that specifically target the HER2 protein on cancer cells. There may also be bone therapy included to protect bones. I'd love to connect with others who have a similar diagnosis and hear about your experiences with this type of combination treatment. • What has your experience been like with hormone therapy plus HER2-targeted therapy? • What helped you manage day-to-day life during this treatment, and what do you wish you had known going in?

The community here has members who understand the unique aspects of dual-targeted therapy, so hopefully you'll hear from people who can share practical tips about what worked for them during treatment.
