Hello x

Well done you. Welcome, I've found this site invaluable for support, advice from people who truly understand. Where are you in your journey/treatment? I've had 2nd chemo cycle this morning. Having FECT x 6 cycles, plus Herceptin injections,  plus radiotherapy later on. Had lumpectomy, plus sentinel node removal. Jo x

Jo,it sounds like im having the same treatment as you,was diagnosed last week..chemo,herceptin,lumpectomy and radio to follow,how is the chemo going?x

Good for you Dimplz,

Welcome,i think its good to talk about it

Pretty well. Had 2nd cycle yesterday. Side effects not too bad tbh. Headaches, achy legs, bit of indigestion; sorted by Gaviscon and tablets they gave me yesterday. Injections for 7 days after each session really not too bad at all, bit of backache. Take everything they give you, anti sickness etc. Not had any nausea either.  Very surreal sitting there for approx 2 hours. Having 3 x FEC, 3 x T plus Herceptin injections, then RT afterwards, plus Anastrazole tablets. Hope this helps. My hair loss started about 2 weeks ago, got my wig ready for after my shave on Friday. Jo x WE CAN DO THIS! X

So glad its going well for you Jo.

Im so petrified i cant handle needles and wonder how the hell ill cope with all this,i will have to get some strength from somwhere x

You can do this! It's really not too bad, needle pain wise. Honestly. Jo x
