I was diagnosed with secondary bone cancer in November started treatment end of January- docatexel,trastumumab and pertuzumbab - had 3 rounds now - got 3 more with docatexel then carry on with other 2 as long as working.
my main problem now is that my spine is curved and I am walking bent over ! This is limiting my activity and makes me out of breath - I was wondering if anyone else suffer with this and got any idea if it improves if cancer reduces
i have a ct scan next week to see if treatment is working- so hope get some answers then .
Hi Winship
Having your activity limited and difficulty with breathing must be extremely unpleasant. Although I don't have any experience with this I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. By replying to you it will 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussions list.
While you're waiting for replies you could use the group's search facility to see if anyone else has had this problem.
I hope you get some answers soon.
