Hi AJMR

I was diagnosed with grade 3idc her 2+ er+ 4cm lump and a second lump in same breast but no lymph node involvement last September. This was obviously before Covid19 and was given 6 sessions of neo adjuvant chemotherapy. I was informed that this was to shrink the tumour before surgery, which it did.  My tumour virtually disappeared after the first three sessions. I had my mastectomy in February and am now recovering well. Chemo isn't a walk in the park but so worth it for the results that I had.  I have to have herceptin injections for 12 months and will need letrozole hormone therapy for 10 years.

I was hoping to work throughout my chemo but as I work in a school my oncologist didn't think it was wise..so was quite looking forward to resuming my normal life following the op.. however covid has put paid to that for the next three Months

I hope everything goes ok for you in the coming months. Look after yourself and rest when you can

If you want to ask any questions please feel free to message me.

Hi Angela

Feel free to message anytime...even if it's the middle of the night...I'm often up a few times due to insomnia .. possibly from herceptin or letrozole...or a combination of both .  I'm happy to answer any question even if it's personal.  I've not actually used the messaging system but I'm sure we'll get the hang of it

Take care
