Hi all sorry I haven't been. Online for some time only I started back at work and have been extremely busy. Also October 4th I was rushed into hospital with a pulmonary embolism and I was poorly. I nw have to inject twice daily and have CT scan end Jan to check my lungs as they also found a lesion on my other lung. Thank fully not metastasis.. Still scary though. I have also started herceptin an
perjeta as this was out on hold. Has anyone else had a PE whilst on treatment. Hope you are all ok and staying safe. Xxx
Thanks I think I'm living proof that the drugs do work. I was stage 3B yet here I am 5.5 years after diagnosis and clear. It was a very difficult 12 months though, although I remember my oncologist saying at the start 'give me a year of your life and you'll live as long as your mother' (who is now 87). I don't think he expected it to be that bad however. He was wonderful when I was in hospital. Came to see me every day, even though he wasn't the treating doctor. I'll be forever grateful to him.
