Hi
I am Pink Betty and have her2 breast cancer .. my journey is like snakes and ladders . I have had 2 cycles of chemo that left me with very unpleasant side effects. My treating plan changed as 3days later I ended up in hospital with a perforated bowel for a week! Luckily no op but having been home for two weeks ,got covid so we treatment plan changed again and no chemo because of the stint in hospital! Now my lump removal is on 4th Nov and I can start hormone replacement therapy and herceptin . Has anyone had this treatment and if so what is it like ? and any side effects ?
thankyou

Hi Pink Betty
Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer and that your treatment journey hasn't been easy. While I haven't had hormone replacement therapy as my breast cancer was triple negative I thought I would reply to you to welcome you to the forum as you haven't had any replies yet. Hopefully someone will be along shortly with an answer for you.
Wishing you the best of luck with the rest of your treatment.
Best wishes
