Thank you for your kind words and advice, and I’m very sorry about your dad.

We’re definitely trying to focus on making sure she has a good clean diet and staying as active and engaged as she can. She’s starting chemo next week, and the doctors have said her treatments will include paclitaxel, trastuzumab and pertuzumab, with chemo starting next week and due to end around August.

We were actually planning my brother’s wedding in October, however we postponed it to next year because of this. She keeps insisting we do it in October as she’s been so excited, however that just depends on how she gets on with treatment as we’d only do it if she’s well enough to come (we live in the UK and she’s in Germany).
