  1. Quick back story, Was diagnosed in sept 21  (after being misdiagnosed since April 21) mastectomy and SNB (1/3 positive) Nov 21 26mm invasive with a total of 92mm (non ivasive and invasive) was due to start chemo in the Jan 22 but my youngest DD got covid and then so did I, so chemo was deferred until Feb 22. Started chemotherapy last week, having 5FEC-T and then on the 4th cycle I will start Herceptin.
  2. Just really wanted some positive vibes tbh as although yes I know my cancer has a positive outcome at the end of all the treatments (consultant said 98% survival rate for the next 10 years), it is a very scary place to be especially when I have children at home and my partner lives elsewhere, it's harder that I am not allowed to bring anybody with me while I have the chemotherapy due to covid restrictions etc. Anyway, I hope everyone is doing ok. Thank you for reading x

    Ooh do you have a macmillan nurse that everything comes from? That’s good. I have the herceptin injection to start, followed by a main course of docetaxel and another thing beginning with C I can’t remember the name of!! 

    Had a lovely day today, been to the garden centre, took the dog to a field for a run around, and then came home and pottered in the garden before having a takeaway pub roast. And guess what - I could actually taste a lot of it!!!! It was by no means “normal” but I could taste it and it tasted ok and I am ashamed to say I burst into tears with happiness!!!!! Xx
