Kadcyla

Hi all, I'm new to this forum, and I'll be brief in telling you about myself. I was diagnosed in May 2018 with Inflammatory breast Cancer, and was told I couldn't be cured, but it is treatable, such a devastating shock, but I think I've had everything thrown at me. The Chemo affected my bones, do this year had a hip replacement. Last year I was having a seizure, the cancer had spread to my brain, so had a tumour removed, then had to have Cyberknife treatment. I'm now on another target treatment called Kadcyla, which is keeping the cancer under control. I sometimes think what next is going to be thrown at me, but you pick yourself up and keep positive to fight another day. Sorry to carry on, but I'm having a down day, tomorrow I'll probably be ok, just feeling a little sorry for myself, I know I'm fortunate to be here after being diagnosed 3 years ago. Thank you for letting me off load my feelings.
