Mastectomy, chemo and radiation again then halfway through radiation the cancer metastasised to my skin on my chest wall. Now i a currently on TDM1 or kadcycyla.

  • Hi Heidi,

     

    Three children! how do you do it! your an amazing lady. I am due to start chemo in 2 weeks and have a 10 month at home. I already feel very tired and drained from all the emotional turmoil. I found out i was pregnant too and had to abort as i was told i couldn't keep it so i feel i have had so much loss and grief. My baby gets me through but some days i find it hard to be in the present with her. How do you do it? any tips for coping with the imminent chemo or any tips on how i can prepare anything while i have the energy...i would be very grateful. I am glad your treatment is working for you..do you feel like the old you yet?

    Thank you Katie
