Scared about the side effects of treatment
Hello everyone, I'm 35 with two young girls- I was initially diagnosed with LCIS just after a routine scan- but after my mastectomy surgery 2 weeks ago, the pathology has come back that I have HER...

I actually ended up having a severe allergic reaction to the paclitaxel though and went into respiratory distress! They had to press the alarm button and I had lots of medical people rushing into the treatment area. A bit of a crazy experience! Anyway, the nurses took good care of me and after some antihistamines and Ventolin I settled down. Not what I had expected though!! Anyway, a silver lining is that the oncologist thinks due to my tumor being on the smaller side when it was removed I will just continue on with the Herceptin and tamoxifen instead as she doesn't think continuing on with the chemo is worth the risk of the allergic reaction again.
So now I'll be starting the tamoxifen next week and will see how that goes.
Thanks again for all of your help and support xx
