Oh my goodness!! I dont know what to make of this new site and have only just been able to get on today as since I got back from New York the whole thing was down!!! Dont get me wrong I like it but its very different!
So where do I start!! I have had 2 cycles of Hercpetin now and both have been uneventful, had my port put in which was fine too. Bit sore for a few days but its all settled down nicley now. I had a follow up with my onc who was very pleased the lumps in my neck have gone already, this...
Well it should have been cycle 4 this week but hubby was too under the weather to be treated, so he had a blood transfusion, which took over 9 hrs and eventually was brought home at 11.30pm. We thought it would all be over two weeks ago but this is the second time his chemo has been suspended due to him being too unwell.

Hello there!
I am new to all of this so bear with me!! I have finished my course of radiotherapy and am coping with the side effects but can anyone help with how to prevent my skin breaking down as under my bust is sooooooooooooooo red and sore now!

No, my experiences do not dominate my thinking, but I suppose we all need time to process what has happened.
Thanks.
