Hello everyone.
Last Friday I had my second last Docetaxel chemo and I'm just beginning to feel the bone pain again today. It sucks but I'm also feeling quite excited about the prospect of only one more chemo to go. ...

I hear you....cancer in one breast....why wouldnt it appear in the other one at some stage. I was in this very position and decided to go for both off for a couple of reasons; firstly the logic and stats just did not make sense to me and i just did not believe it would not appear in the other breast; i did not want the chance of going through chemo again and my best chance to stop breast cancer recuring or a new primary was to remove both; going through chemo again with no leave available from work would be have a massive financial impact on my family; I knew i wanted reconstruction and wanted both breasts the same.
I am very happy with my decision and i dont worry about breast cancer anymore and have lovely natural feeling breasts. I understand that some breast tissue is always left behind even with mastectomy, but I have done everything i can to eradicate it so i have peace of mind.
I also feel that when the revision surgery is over and the herceptin is finished I will not look back.
good luck with your decision and your recovery from chemo
