Hello, I was first diagnosed 2019 grade 2 Her2 positive breast cancer and 5 years later it returned in my sternum and a nodule on my lung when I was pregnant. I had 13 paclitaxol weekly through my pregnancy,  had my baby girl in September, & now on phesgo every 3 weeks. 
My scans so far have shown a great response, is there anyone in a similar situation who are on Herceptin doing well? I’m usually a positive person but i think with it being Mother’s Day today I’m overthinking things tonight.

Thank you Xx xX 

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I’m sorry to read that you've recently discovered that your breast cancer has returned and spread.

    The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the secondary breast cancer group as you'll then connect directly with others in a similar situation to yourself.

    To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
