Again!
I was diagnosed in december 2017 with hormone receptive breast cancer and had travelled to my nodes. I completed genetic testing which came back as brca2. I completed 4 rounds of FEC and 4 rounds of Doxetaxel chemo finished on ththe 20th of june 2018. I under went masectomy with expanders and surgery went super well that was only 2 weeks ago yeaterday.
This tuesday i recieved a call from my oncologist at 730pm informing me that the two nodes where hec2 positive and i require more chemo another 4 rounds a dose each week for 12 weeks. Doxetaxel again and carboplatin. Ill also be having herception for 12 months and another drug that start with z to turn off my ovaries.
I recieved my bone scan results that i jad yesterday and all is clear. Needing pet scan and ct next week andthen chemo starts again.
I am so dam deflated as everything was going so smoothly and looking up my body was healing so well from chemo and surgery to know be told i need to do it all over again.
I have never heard of people needing so manybrounds of chemo for breast cancer usually 6-8. Feel so let down and just want to be here for my baby girl and be me again my heart has been turn out yet again
