Hi I had a mastectomy with immediate reconstruction diagnosed as Triple positive therefore chemo and herceptin route.   I have one herceptin injection left to have these were given every third week over 12 months and I have had no problems, unlike the chemotherapy.  I am also taking anastrozole which unfortunately does have some side effects.   Obviously the choice is yours and the very best of luck should you decide to take an alternative route. 

I am also triple positive. I am still undergoing chemo alongside herceptin and perjenta.

what is your reason for refusing it?

it doesn't seem to have many side effects for me, from what I read, it is the only chance at fighting this type of cancer and not taking it you risk the cancer coming back more. Her2 is a reacurring cancer and not something to be messed about with

There are so many alternatives to cancer treatment.

ive done and am doing a lot of research into it and some have even refused chemo and the cancer has gone or been kept at bay.

People have also been diagnosed with a secondary cancer while undergoing herceptin treatment and also tamoxifen so it's not completely proven to do what what it's meant to do.

i appreciate what you're saying and I'm happy it's working for you x

Hi,

thank you for your reply.

you must be so relieved to be coming to the end of your treatment :).

thank you for letting me know how you're doing with it.

best of luck x
