Hi again,
well I have seen oncologist today and now have a plan so although scary at least I Know what needs to be done to beat this.
She believes the cancer has overtaken the lymph nodes in my axillar and that's why they are unrecognisable. The tumour in my axillar is a grade 3 triple positive whereas the tumour they removed from my right breast was Grade 2 hormone positive and marginal HER2 +ve. Oncologist was very positive and helpful which was great
Treatment recommended - 3mths epirubicin every 3 weeks(with an overnight hospital stay to manage nausea), then start Herceptin for 12 months(every 3 weeks) and Taxol for 3 months (weekly). After the Taxol and Epirubicin they plan 5 weeks of daily radiation to right breast, axillar and lymph nodes near clavicle.
Any information/advice on what to expect with this treatment regime and how to prepare would be great.
Thanks AC
