Re: Feels like a brand new diagnosis 😫
Hi Elfie, It really does take a while to accept this rotten diagnosis and the thought of continual treatment can be daunting. However the Herceptin/Perjeta combination is relatively easy and has been a life-saver for us Her2 women. I hope you have a good response to the Taxol and then remain stable for a long time.

Sorry to hear this, and I know the diagnosis can be devastating. I have been living well with bone and liver mets for over 6 years now. Treatments have improved so much. I hope your combo works well for you and that you find good support for the coming months. Regards..... Pam23ViewsSign in to react to this post0Comments
