Thank you that's good to hear wish you well with your recovery xx

Take care and don't worry. This treatment has only previously been offered to secondary breast cancer patients but now thinking is it is very helpful in stopping reoccurance so offered to primary breast cancer patients too. 

Hi  we are all so different I had no problem with chemo  3 EC  and 12  paclitaxol  all fine just tired.  Also had RT in December no problem.  Had my first  6 monthly Zometa acid IV  and had flu symptoms  and pains for 3 weeks totally floored me.  Was not going  to have any more but as I had TNBC  and it helps with reoccurrence  giving it another run in May so hope next one is kinder fingers crossed just shows how individual we all are. On a lighter note bought rapid brow serum of Amazon and have regrow my eyebrows in just over a week brilliant product worth a try ladies.  Good luck to you all you will do this   sending hugs   xxx

Hello Sunshine321 Thanks for the tip on eyebrows yes I will try that does it have a brand name? my hair is finally growing back still very short but at least its as thick as it was. I stopped my chemo after the 3 EC really couldn't cope with the side effects and have actually regretted having chemo. I also have TNBC. Praying I don't have bad side effects with this treatment . Good luck with the rest of your treatment and hope the next session is better for you xx

Hi Jayne, I’m very glad to hear that you had no symptoms, you deserve it after what you went through with Chemo x

Rapid lash serum is the name about £27  my hair went very thin but growing back now can't wait to have it coloured bur a bit soon yet   treatment finished other than zometa IVs  they do tablet forms of it which may be an option but hoping next one is OK.   Good luck with your treatment also we have made it through to a happier year  xxxx

Cheers Di, hope you are keeping well ?
