Anybody undergoing chemo for HER2+?

I have two lumps in my left breast and one in the left sentinel node. Supposed to start chemo to shrink these before surgery. Has anybody recently undergone or is undergoing this type of chemo? I am scared of the side effects, especially since I have a low tolerance to medication in general.

    HER2+

    Hello,

    We could be twins as I also have a lump in left breast and lymph node. I am 4 days post HER2+ chemo infusions. My first infusion went well amd I had zero reactions during the process.

     

    Now i'm experiencing more reactions from the immunity injections and the steroids. 1 more day of these meds and i'm off of them until round 2.
