Hi I am beside myself with worry, having completed the EC part of ECT chemo I discovered a little nodule on the affected breast and a biopsy found it had cancer, the consultant said this is very uncommon and it shows the chemo has not killed it. I am due to start paclitaxel chemo this week but I’m so worried. Has anyone had this happen, has anyone had paclitaxel and hormone therapy at same time. I have a call with my oncologist today and want to ask about this but not sure if risks are too high. Any advice welcome.
Hi Evonne
I'm Daisy53 one if the Community Champions on this forum. I'm sorry to hear that you were diagnosed with breast cancer. While it hasn't happened to me I noticed that you haven't had any answers yet so I thought I'd reply to you to move you to the top of the discussion. Hopefully someone will be along shortly with an answer for you.
Best wishes
