Hi, I’m new here (lucky me )

Hi 0708,

I am her2neg/er/pr positive. I have just finished 4 cycles of EC 3 weekly. It's doable. The fatigue is real just listen to your body and rest when needed. There are lots odmf medication to combat any side effects. Keep a journal to discuss at your appointments.

I'm now moving to radiotherapy and Letrozole with bone infusions 6 monthly.

Lots if different treatment options available.

Be kind to yourself and seek supports from macmillan site and cancer care.

You will also learn a lot on this site as everyone at different stages of recovery with different cancer types.

Good luck with your treatments let us know how you get on xxx

Hi there,  I think I am .. 

grade 2 ductal  her 2 pos right  breast cancer with node involvement.  I've had x6 Docetaxel  and Carboplatin  then surgery 18 days ago.. Lumpectomy  ( excellent results) plus 2  sentinel plus 2 more nodes removed. 

 scars healed lively but lots of hard tissue... Will it ever soften? I believe it goes harder with radiotherapy? 

1. Phesgo dissolved my 4cm main tumor to 0.7mm and node ca  had completely gone before surgery.. Need 15 radiotherapy  soon and commencing on Kadcyla as the phesgo didn't give me a total pathological response. I feel I am just on the home run but now need x12 Kadcula ... more chemo... anyone had this , any advice ? xx Thanks in advance xx 

Hi there, welcome to the forum! I'm new here too..I'm currently going through a similar journey myself, though my situation is slightly different. I'm on a course of Letrozole at the moment, and so far, things are going well. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when you’re just about to start treatment, but you're already showing a great mindset by being ready to face it head-on.

My advice would be to really prioritize self-care throughout this time. Make sure you're getting plenty of rest, staying hydrated, and listening to your body. Don't hesitate to lean on support networks, whether it's family, friends, or forums like this one. On the tougher days, give yourself permission to take it easy and focus on small wins. Having some calming routines or hobbies to relax your mind can make a big difference too. Also, remember that it is important to use only high-quality Femara (Letrozole) from reliable pharmacies, then you can be sure of a positive result of treatment.

You've got this, and we’re all here cheering you on!

Wow! Aren't you lucky - being able to get Femara! How did you manage to persuade your GP to spend NHS money on that?

Hi everyone!

I've been taking Letrozole for approximately 7 years and I don't agree that "it is important to use only high quality Femara (Letrozole) from reliable pharmacies, then you can be sure of a positive result of treatment".

My GP has never agreed to give me Femara as it is expensive! I've stuck with the Accord brand for the last few years as Cipla causes me to have vertigo (likely to be a reaction to one of the fillers!). 

I am not a medical expert so, of course, I'd love to hear why Femara would be better (other than having less side effects).
