i had my mastectomy done and during operasion I developed heart attack. I had 5 Phesco s and now they are going to stop targeted therapy. I have no hope left. My chemo was reduced as I had sepsis and now without targeted therapy there’s not much chance left
Hi I'm so sorry that your having such a hard time with treatment. It must feel like everything is happening with research treatment:( You su that you feel there is no hope left. What did the pathology report say after the mastectomy? Is the chemo still continuing despite the other medication being stopped? It doesn't mean no hope as these therapies didn't exist years ago and women still survived.
Thanks for your kind words. I didn’t get results of histology yet but i had 10 mm tumor and 2 affected lymph nodes left. my doctor is very conservative I don’t think she will take any risk
So did they remove them, or stop the surgery? You have still had some of each treatment and are continuing the chemo. Please don't think that there is no hope! Are they doing an MRI or CT scan to see how it's all gone? X
it happened at the end of the operation so they managed to remove them all. Im scheduled to have CT and then see my oncologist.
thank you very much for your support.
