Hi, this is my first try as a post.
Bit of a story but my wife’s cancer journey is nearly 3 years, been through all the initial operations and treatment, had an all clear which didn’t last long, cancer moved to lymph system which was beaten but moved to small brain tumours in October. Started on Enhertu and the scan after the first 3 treatments should a dramatic improvement and the first good news in 6 months. Treatment ongoing with a reduced dose as there are 2 remaining small tumours which oncologist says realistic to think they will clear in next 3 sessions.
My wife feels so scared, so alone and really struggling with the uncertain future together with the side effects of nausea, dizziness, hair thinning etc
Our oncologist is suggesting to remain on Enhertu should the tumours even be cleared
Just looking for advice about coping with the uncertainty - can it ease?
Will the hair thinning ease and improve even if on constant treatment?
Are there buddies out there with similar stories that understand and can support my wife through her journey?
So grateful for any responses!
Hi Hubby Bob, I'm one of the community champions here in the forum and I realise you’ve not had anyone yet come along with the experience you are looking for. My answer will bump your post back to the top, so I hope it catches someone's eye.
But I did also want to suggest you or your wife might want to chat to the lovely folks here at Macmillan to see if they can provide you with any additional advice or support. You can call the, on 0800 808 0000.
Best wishes to you and your wife, I hope the current treatment continues to be successful
