My journey is continuing, chemo now finished, thank goodness. I was so sick with low white cells, nausea, fainting and allergic reactions, but I stuck it out, even when the oncologist said I didn't have to take the last dose, I still had it and put up with the side effects.
Now on herceptin plus arimitex which so far, not any noticeable side effects from either.
The arimitex seems to be ok with only slight pain in my foot, which I had an operation on last year. I am a little concerned of the effect it can have on my bone density, have had my scans done and although my left hip is a little down, it is within the guidelines. I also take Ostelin Vit D with Calcium, which my Oncologist told me to take.
My only problem now is pain that I have developed in my scar and chest area, which I have been told is nerve pain.
I do hope you are all coping well with your respective treatments, keep in touch, if anyone wants to private message me, I am happy to do so, especially those that are in more regional areas
Regards
Jill
