I've had a single mastectomy, chemo etc. since then there has been spread to bones on Denisumab) , liver and lungs, oh and a tumor behind my eye which I gave just had radiotherapy. Lost my hair 3 times. Had several different chemo regimes. just about to start Vinorelbine and would be interested to hear from anyone who has had this.
