No response from neoadjuvant chemo

Hi all,

I was diagnosed with triple positive cancer in November. I've just done 6 months chemo (EC/Dox) and had a lumpectomy. I went for my results this week and was told I had no response to chemo despite scans suggesting it had shrunk.

I'm now waiting on a PET-CT scan as I had lymph node involvement and will be going onto Kadcyla.

I'm petrified this has spread and is not even treatable.

Anyone else has similar experience?

thanks

H

 

  • No words of wisdom to offer, I'm afraid. But I'm really sorry to hear that. My wife did the exact same course of treatment as yourself (finished up a few weeks ago, and 3 weeks post op now), and she too is triple + with lymph involvement. Also got a lumpectomy.

    From seeing my wife endure the treatment, I know what a kick in the guts that must be after everything you have gone through.
