Baby soon to arrive!
After undergoing 3 months of AC treatment and 2 rounds of Taxol, my long-awaited baby will arrive on 4 June! While the chemo treatment hasn't been easy, it's all been doable since I've had something ...
Hi Pamelka,
Perhaps you can let me know how you've been getting on as I'm about to do just that, only a few months after you?!
I was diagnosed at 37 weeks pregnant with my first baby in August 2015 (I've only joined bcna tonight.) My baby girl was induced at 38 + 6 and since then, as you can imagine, I've had a zillion scans (well, about 11, I think), 2 operations (sentinel node biopsy and an axillary clearance) and am having injections for an egg collection which should happen in a couple of days. Chemo starts on Monday next week and my baby will be 4 weeks old in 2 days.
I'll have chemo + herceptin (eventually) for 6 months, then a full mastectomy followed by radiotherapy and hormone therapy after that so I'd be really keen to hear how you're getting on but at the same time, I completely understand if you really just don't have the time! I certainly don't!
Anyway, all the best, I'm sure you're smashing it!
