Re: Shocked!
Hello @Peck, sorry to see you joining us☹️.
I am hormone positive and Her2 negative. I located an article about the different types of BC. Hope you find it useful. Some other ladies (triple negative) may be able to tell you more.

It’s going to be quite a journey as you’ve just been diagnosed but the ladies in this network are amazing and extremely supportive. Feel free to ask any questions you have and someone will be able to share with you their experiences.

Re: Peter Mac Radiotherapy Experience
Hi @Katie46, Ive only had my planning session so far but I believe treatment is the same just a different machine. You lie on your back with arms raised above your head on the table then they ask you to take a deep breath and hold it for 20 seconds. I practised at home so it wasnt hard. They have a guide on a screen in front of you to show you how to hold it within the levels. I found it easy.

Peter Mac Radiotherapy Experience
I would like to know if anyone has had radiotherapy at Peter Mac and what their experience was. Did you have the tattoo less treatment?

Re: Cold Sores and Chemo
Hi @MillyMollyMulberry, I don't suffer from cold sores, but I did get very bad mouth ulcers which they thought might have been caused by the herpies virus and they gave me Famvir, so that might be an option if it gets bad.

Re: Struggling through Chemo
Hi @Rona and @Katie46
Congratulations @Rona on finishing chemo!! wooooo hooooo!! Loved that you dressed up for the last treatment!
I have 3 rounds left and finish on 23 May all being well..... 2 days after you @Katie46!
I appear to have gotten off lightly with r side effects.... mainly fatigue and a bit of heartburn so far, crap nail quality on my hands and a bit of a sunburn like rash on my face occasionally. My liver issues have settled down on an 80% dose and lots of liver focused qigong. I'm seeing the radiation oncologist tomorrow.... so the light is emerging at the end of the tunnel! Enjoy that Chinese meal @Rona!
