Hey everyone!
Just checking in! Sorry have been pretty quiet...it's been crazy with school stuff at the moment as it's my daughters last year at her school so she has so many leaving things going on and general end of term stuff so the admin is off…
Morning all
Radiotherapy appointment was good Thanks. They want to give me 5 "normal" doses followed by 4 "boosts". The "normal" ones treat the whole breast area whereas the "boost" targets where the cancer was. I'm quite relieved, as I was expecting…
Oh wow! Good luck indeed NGS for your last chemo! Woohoo!!! Hope it goes well. And you too Pippin24 , just 2 more to go including this one.
So sorry to hear about the jaw pain NGS That must be awful. I'm dreading taking the Ibandronic acid because that…
Hi Pippin24 Immunotherapy is given by infusion, same as chemo, but it's much gentler on the body and shouldn't cause hair loss etc. Immunotherapy is given to help prevent the cancer returning or spreading. I've been having it alongside chemo all the time…
Morning all
That's great news you're all coming to the end of chemo. It's such an amazing feeling when you get there. A massive relief washes over you.
Sorry NGS that your taste has been off. Mine was bad with the docetaxel but ok with EC. Everyone…
Hello Smudge24,
It must be such a stressful time for you at the moment as you have just received your diagnosis of HER2 positive and ER positive invasive breast cancer but are still waiting for these important MRI results. It must be confusing for you…
Hey everyone,
@ngs - So glad this round went ok and that they've reduced the dose and you must be so happy only one more to go! Really hope you feel ok this round and that the relaxants help with the bone pain. Also so so happy to hear your CT scans…
Good morning all. I hope you're all well.
Good luck today Pippin24 . I envy you a good night's sleep. I can't remember the last time I had one of those lol. And congratulations on 41 year anniversary, that's amazing!
My surgery site is healing well…
Morning beautiful people, I hope you are all just been catching up Pippin24 NGS hope all goes OK today sweetie. Keeping toes, fingers, arms, legs abd eyes crossed for you.
I woke up this morning to the right side of my face swollen up, so just waiting…
Awww NGS me and you must be on the same think wace, we got a puppy two weeks ago and English Cocker Spaniel and just took him for his first walk today which was lovely and motivating
I am the same as you when it comes to the injections. I still get…
Same here with the injections hun EC is what I am on next after the halfway point and there is no break in between. I am all for the surgery, we are done with having children and with being triple negative I am all for there being nothing there it can…
Hi Pippin24 sweetie, yeah still on the weekly for 7 more weeks and then changing to EC every 3 weeks for 4 cycles. They will also scan again at that point and start planning surgery. Left boob is definitely going but gentic test to confirm fate of right…
Pippin24 Greeny80 hi ladies, hi all sorry been missing for a while 1st lot of chemo wiped me flat out and I got an infection and ended up being admitted, just done week 5. Hair is all gone, and leg pain is the main side affect, but lump is feeling smaller…
Pippin24 how are you getting on? Hope your treatment is going OK. My 3rd chemo should be this week but it's being pushed as I ended up with neutropenic sepsis after my last one was in hospital for 5 days was awful. X
Hey Pippin24 I've had my 2nd chemo now and got to say the nurses were fantastic they introduced another anti sickness drug into my regime so no vomiting this time which makes all my other side effects more manageable.
My hair is coming out in handfuls…
