my doc told me to face death now from her2 breast cancer

Is there a chance that (while you were in a numbed state of hear your cancer Dx) that you misunderstood this first doctor?  I am asking because you are currently on a chemo regimen and you have mentioned an upcoming surgery.  Sounds like active treatment to me, and they usually don't give you that unless they expect some positive outcome to take place.  If your outlook were really as grim as you described the doctor as saying, I think he would have steered you toward palliative treatment and have suggested hospice. 

Yes, it would be good to get a second opinion, especially if it helps to clarify things for you.  Take a list of questions for anything you do not currently understand.  Maybe having a family member with you will help too.  

Don't forget, you can get copies of any of your diagnostic records or the first doctor's office reports to take home, look over and refer back to, without having to try to remember everything that was said in the office. 

Absolutely NOTHING 'adds up' in this 'story' - from the beginning.

You are in Boston.  I was refered to Dana Farber for treatment options.  They were wonderful there.  I would definately get another opinion.   I just finished Chemo and it kicked me in the pants.  i am now doing rads and doing okay.  The fatigue is awful but you can do this, you are enot alone. 

Good luck and we are all here for you.
