I 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?

Starting this combination treatment approach can feel overwhelming, but connecting with others who share similar experiences often provides valuable insight and emotional support. Many people find that having practical strategies for managing daily routines and understanding potential side effects ahead of time can make a significant difference in their treatment journey. Hopefully, community members who have navigated hormone therapy combined with HER2-targeted treatment will share their perspectives and tips that helped them along the way.
