Hi All,
I was dx in Feb 09 with multifocal (2cm and 1.5cm) node pos, triple pos BC at 40, I was fit, healthy with no family history, I had a WLE and node clearance a week after a biopsy, started chemo 3 weeks after surgery.
I did ACTH, rads, no hormone treatments for me due to osteoporosis from chemo induced menopause for 2 yrs, did 4 infusions of Zometa for my bone density.
I Have been premenopausal again for 2 years, so hoping to see an improvement in my bone density when I have a Dexa scan later in the year.
I went back to work full-time to a demanding job with lots of travel and long hours as soon as my Rad finished, I also have young children and no family in Brisbane for a helping hand. Thinking back not sure how i did it as i was exhausted and still having herceptin every 3 weeks, but i was determined to get back to work ASAP.
I do feel fortunate not to suffer any long term SE's from treatment and am just as fit and healthy as I was when dx.
Won't be able to attend the forum due to work commitments, hope you all enjoy the day.
Jacqui
