My name is Carolyn & even though I don't live in Melbourne, I am having all my treatment at Peter Mac so thought I would join this group.
My diagnosis was 2nd May 2013. I had a right mastectomy & axillary clearance. I had node positive ER+ PR+ & HER2+ IDC. I received 8 rounds of chemo being 4 AC followed by 4 TH. Having Herceptin every 3 weeks until September 2014, undergoing 5 weeks of radiation, on daily Tamoxifin. I am also participating in the Aphinity trial. I am receiving Herceptin & placebo or Herceptin & Pertuzumab (I think that is how it is spelt..? & it is supposed to be a new wonder drug to help combat HER2+)
I am looking into having reconstruction done in the future & find the Breast Reconstruction Group extremely helpful & knowledgeable.
I can't wait to be finished all this treatment & not be so tied down to appointments etc. I know it will be all finished before I know it.
