Hi it’s always a relief once the waiting to find out what you are dealing with is over and you have a treatment plan. Sounds like you are handling it well which will hopefully make your journey easier. Wishing you all the best with your treatment xx
Yes it is, although I am not sure what next, I will trying to be positive, still have long journey 1 year a head, but I said I will not give up and fight with this just for my little boys, and thanks you for your message xx
Do be positive because breast cancer is very treatable these days with a very high success rate. I know a year feels like a long time at the moment but once you start your treatment you will probably find that time starts passing. by quite quickly.
You might already know this but there is a June 21 chemo thread that you should have a look at as you might find talking with others currently undergoing chemo helpful and supportive. Here is the link
Hi Oriena
sounds similar to me and it isn’t easy but it is amazing how you get through it. There will be a lot of ups and downs but you will get there.
I was diagnosed in August last year and have completed 7 cycles of chemo every 3 weeks, the last 4 with pertuzamab and trastuzumab which I am still having and will finish in November 2021. I had a lumpectomy and one lymph node removed in March and Have just completed 15 sessions of radiotherapy.
My oncologist has recommended that I commence with Zoledronic acid every 6 months for 3 years and Anastrozole tablets for 5 years. I am due to start these tablets today and the acid next week.
Good luck on your journey! My last chemo was 21st January and it reduced a 6cm lump to no trace! Hard but so worth it x
Godwilling thanks for your information it's help me a lot to figure out how is chemo work with us. Thanks Dear xx
Baileylady yes indeed it's not easy dear, it's a long journey but we are need to through everything, you nearly done well-done, and good luck on your treatment love xx
