Hi all

So last week it was very leaky eyes as I thought I was on my last treatment ever, nothing left 2 try. But now had a phone call from BCN 2day who tells me that my oncologist is fighting my case and put me forward 4 & its bn agreed in principle (subject 2 scan) that I'm going 4 a bilateral mastectomy...

Onc wants me 2 start this last chemo 2morrow with the 2nd dose nxt week instead of after my hols 2 keep things under control b4 the nxt action plan. I'm worried that I might have side effects & a lower than normal immune system - just what I need with flying on the 22nd May.

I was speechless as I'd bn passed over 4 a mastectomy 18 months ago as they thought there would b probs closing me up. So a lot 2 think about but off I pop 2 hospital 2morrow 4 bloods & chemo....aaagghhhh.

Oh this rings bells for me. I have had a bit more luck than you but each line of treatment they throw at me seems to fail quicker than hoped. The gaps between treatments seems to shorten as I lurch from one to the next.

I hope the Eribulin gives you a good long stretch of stability.

Yes I am having a nice weekend. Not doing much but this morning the sun is shining.

Love and hugs xxx

Hi WB, I've just caught up with this post. I'm with Gragon but if it saves your life then it'll be worth it in the long run. It must be a daunting prospect but if anyone can fight through it, it's you! I hope the chemo is kind and your holiday on 22nd gives you the strength and positive mindset needed for your next challenge! Take Care
