Hi , I’m new to this forum, but have been in treatment for intratumoral heterogenous breast cancer ( 2 distinct areas of cancer cells in same tumour one her2 pos the other triple negative) for just over 12 months. I’m on cycle 14 out of 17 of dual herceptin monoclonal antibody targeted treatment. Ive had a mastectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy ( macromet node 1), chemo EC and doxetaxol and radiotherapy as well as biphosphonates. Despite this I have managed to get back to work as a busy midwife ( 5 days after radiotherapy. I’ve been lucky to not be hospitised at all on this journey ( I left hospital as a day case for my mastectomy 30 mins after coming back from theatre recovery). Going back to work has given me a sense of normality . it’s nice to share experiences with you and I hope I can give and receive support on this forum.
