What happens now I'm finished my treatment?
I have been through breast cancer for the last 8 months. I went on to have two surgeries. 12mm lump in my left breast and one lymph node had caught cancer. So all 26 on my left side were removed. Then I had 4 rounds of a/c Chemo. Then onto taxol. I had one only and ended up in hospital with bacterial pneumonia. Kidneys starting to shut down. Allergic reactions to medications and ended up with 4 hospital stays over 5 weeks. So oncologist decided no more Chemo. So then onto 20 rounds of radiation. This finished last week. Now I'm wondering how do I find out for sure that there is no more cancer in me. Surgeon said all was taken. Oncologist said as my cancer was so small they do not expect any further issues. What experience have you had with this?? Thank you. Julie119Views0likes5CommentsBone pain
Last Thursday I had my first round of taxol chemotherapy. Have completed my 4 A/C treatments. After having the tummy injection the day after previously I hadn't really noticed any bone pain. However that changed completely this time. After lunch Saturday I didn't know what hit me and it hasn't let up much by Sunday night. I had some endone. However even this doesn't get rid of the joint pain I am experiencing in my knees and ankles. Does anyone have any suggestions. Thank you Julie89Views0likes5CommentsRe: 1st chemotherapy
I'm will be having the AC Chemo 4times fortnightly, and 4-6 weeks of the taxol. Followed by 4-6 weeks of radiation and finally 10ysers of anti cancer pills. All of your advice has been fantastic. Thank you so very much. All I can say is I am so looking forward to Christmas this year!!! Julie x3Views0likes0Comments1st chemotherapy
