She took my case to the team meeting but nothing was resolved. Anyways I'm on perfecta and herceptin for 12 months. Just finished three months of taxol. Take can and thanks again for your reply. 🌹6Views1like0CommentsRe: New Diagnosis - first oncologist appointment Tuesday.
You will you will find the ladies here so very helpful, so I'll let them help you out. from me it's just take one day at a time, always take someone with you to appointments. The whole thing is just so much to take in so be gentle with yourself. Don't google stuff....you hopefully will find your breast care nurse one of your best source of information. Ask lots of questions, although I know sometimes you don't know what to ask! Keep us posted on how you are travelling. 🌹🌹🌹13Views0likes0CommentsHER2- or HER2+.
Back back in 2015 when I was diagnosed with TNBC I was diagnosed as HER2- (no lymph nodes involvement) This year 2018 back in September I had 16 lymph nodes removed and 11 were cancer again a TN. However the biopsy showed the nodes they removed were HER2+. I also had a biopsy in September to a small node on my lung which was also TN and HER2- I can recall another lady from our group saying in my previous discussion a similar thing happen to her. Wish I could remember who it was. so following my visit to the oncologist yesterday she is having the lymph nodes re tested. I have started treatment again but obviously if the nodes are really negative it wil change my treatment. im feeling so frustrated as this testing has been going on since Mid September. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar thing happen to them. thank you. 🌹214Views0likes6Comments
