  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
  • So glad you are feeling good Katharine and you do need to make the most of them.

    I think everyone reacts differently to the chemo so hopefully you will get through your next one with just the normal side effects.

    Tomorrow is another day and every day gives us hope and one day we will be all back to normal and have all this behind us.

    Sending hugs to you too. Christina  xxxHeartHeart

  • Good for you Thumper. We all deserve to enjoy the good days, seeing as there's not many of them. I'm on my good week before Chemo Friday. So just been out for a 3 km walk by the beach. Meeting friends over the next couple of days for walks but I know it will involve Cake.. 

    Enjoy.. 

    Big hugs Heart️
