Diagnosed with Her2 positive breast cancer

Hi diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2021.

I have had 7 rounds of chemo and full mastectomy.  There was still some live cells in the tumour so I am now have 14 rounds of kadcyla and starting radiotherapy in 2 weeks.

I wonder if anyone else has had chemo and radiotherapy together. 

Thankyou

  • Hi Poppy and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry some rogue cells were found in your tumour after you had your chemo and mastectomy but I hope all is going well with the kadcyla and you're not experiencing too many side effects.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had chemo and radiotherapy together will be along soon to share their experiences and advice but in the meantime I just wanted to wish you all the best with your radiotherapy and let you know we'll be thinking of you.

    If you have any other questions or would just like to talk things through with someone, then our lovely team of cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,
