Stage 2 invasive DCIS E+ and HER2+

Sounds like you had a great day too and great you could taste food.

My mouth is so much better but roof of mouth still a bit funny but I can taste and eat too.

Have a great night xxx

Oh I didn’t get any paperwork! At least I don’t think I did….! Maybe cos I told them I didn’t want to know details….

And does EC normally come first?

Not seen any other paperwork

Hoping its this for 6,but wont be so lucky i bet

In my case yes I had 3 EC first bit know some of the girls had FEC. I had all the usual side effects but got through them and half way there now. After Tuesday I will be 3/4 of the way there. Dread each one the same as everyone but know it usually lasts about 10 days apart from last time when I got the dreaded mouth thrush which in itself took 10 days to clear, so that lasted a bit longer.

Before we all know it we will be all finished the chemo and getting through the rest of our treatment

Just hang in there xxx

I was initially going to have the same as Sunshine..3 EC then 3  of the other. Bit for me things have changed. I'm about to have my fourth EC on Tuesday instead of the same  proposed combination as sunshine. Then they are going to re+access. Might have to have a MRI first too

..and I'm going to have Phesgo... whatever that is.

Whatever you get, remember that the BCNs are there for you and are very willing to answer any questions. Also if you are having trouble coping with any side effects it's always good to talk to them and they can advise you how best to cope. 

Remember there are good days too.

Take care xx

Hi Seaside

Glad you had a good day, and another lovely walk along the prom. Nice to have an evening dinner booked too....best way to recharge your batteries ️

Has a nice day today too. My son came over to join us for Sunday dinner, which was a lovely distraction. Then later, I spent time in the garden, first a bit of pruning then a bit if tapestry. It was lovely listening to the birds while I was stitching...very relaxing.

Safe journey back. Hopefully, come Tuesday, we will both feel rejuvenated and recharged enough for the next session. 

Hope yours goes well xxz 

Hi Thumper

Hoping things go okay for you on Tuesday too.

We are getting there Thumper.

Take care xxx

Morning Dee and rest of the girls.

I havnt sussed out how to post one to everyone.

How's everyone feeling today.?

My mouth is still a tad sore but not as bad and much better than it was, can eat and taste so that's positive.

We are heading home today after lunch, just takes less than 3 hours from here so will be home before tea time.

Get everything unpacked and get myself ready for my Chemo tomorrow.

Trying not to think about it but we all know the nearer it comes the more anxious we get especially as starting the docetaxol.

I just keep thinking it's one more nearer the finish and that keeps me going.

It's pouring down here now but thankfully we had a 4 days with good weather and we had a great time. I feel the better for it

Hope you all have a great day today .

Sending hugs xxx

Am working today, I work from home and it’s cloudy and chilly today so I’m working in bed!! Trying to enjoy this week and not thinking about the treatment next week otherwise I end up wasting the week away! 

Have a great day everyone xx
