hi Lotlot
Welcome to the forum my name is Daisy53 and I'm one of the Community Champion on this forum. It's good that you've had a complete response to the chemo you've had so far. It will be up to your oncologist whether or not you have the last two doses of chemo, they may decide to give you the final two doses to mop up any stray cells that could be travelling around your body. I suggest that you ring your chemo nurse to ask them about whether you need the final two doses or not.
Wishing you the best of luck with the rest of your treatment and your operation.
Best wishes

Hi
Great to hear you have had a full response to the treatment. I was on the same chemo regime as yourself I was told at the half way point that the tumours had shrunk. I then had a mastectomy after I finished the chemo. Unfortunately my pathology results showed some live cells. They have now switched the Phesgo for Kadcyla hercepin and chemo which was a shock currently doing 15 rounds of radiotherapy which I knew I was getting.
