Hello

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in March, had a mastectomy in May, started chemotherapy in June, was on a three weekly cycle, but side-effects were too much for me and ended up being hospitalised twice, I am now on weekly paclitoxtel,and herceptain injections every three weeks,  is anyone else on weekly chemo?

    Hi Blythe,

    Welcome to the forum.

    I am sorry to hear about your recent tribulations. You have obviously been having a very hard time. What a pity that you suffered such nasty side-effects from chemo. How are you getting on with  Paclitoxtel and Herceptin now?

    I myself have had two bouts of primary breast cancer, first diagnosed 7 years ago, but have had no radiotherapy or chemotherapy. I am sure that someone who has had weekly chemo treatment will reply soon.

    I hope that your present treatment works well. Do keep in touch and let us know how things are going. There is always someone here to chat to whenever you want to.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

    Hello My partner attends weekly for chemo for his stomach cancer! His first chemotherapy (EOX) didn't work as expected, we only went every three weeks for that. But now he's on a new regime which means we go every week xx
