- The paclitaxel was administered intravenously weekly. I have a port, it's easier when your having regular treatment. With the paclitaxel I had to have a blood test weekly two days before treatment.
- Take care. Sometimes the waiting is the hardest part. x
- Fantastic that you are up for your last
Hercepton! Can I ask how was the pacilataxel administered? Was that intravenously weekly? - I have a few aches and pains which could be caused by the Hercepton or the AI or maybe just age. I have my last Hercepton next Thursday.
- @kmcin28 I am still trying to get my head around my diagnosis at 42 yrs old but yes agree all of us thrown this awful diagnosis are as brave as we can be in the circumstances.
modern medicine technology and education is amazing and like you I am so very grateful we have these options.
I am trying to educate myself as much as possible in a world 6 weeks ago I really didn’t know anything about :(
Thanks so much for your time
I find out on Monday if the cancer is present in my lymph nodes and what the treatment regime will be - No braver than you or anyone here. Nobody wants a BC diagnosis and I feel fortunate that these treatments are available to us.
- @kmcin28 how are things for you now? Are you still on any treatment currently?
- @kmcin28 Thankyou so much for responding wow you sound like a very brave courageous soul
- Hi @Shellbelle_75 like @primek i am triple positive started treatment July 2017 4 x AC chemo 3 weeks apart, then 11 x paclitaxel weekly should have been 12 but I had peripheral neuropathy so oncologist reduced dose 10 and 11 and he recommended stopping for 12. The Hercepton started with the paclitaxel every 3 weeks for 18 doses I started on an AI letrozole when chemo finished. I'm on an AI as I have been through menopause. I struggled a bit with the AC but found the side effects of the others manageable. I've only found this site In the last few months and found it helpful. All the best for your treatment.
- Thanks heaps @primek I understand x
