So Annoying
Hi everyone hope you are all fairing better than me at the moment. Had my mastectomy 3 weeks ago and was just starting to feel sort of normal well not so sore, had it drained last Tuesday and then it...
Jacqui - O'm not havng radiotherapy after - I have 12 months of Herceptin treatment but luckily no rads. My surgeon says it all depends upon the pathology. I had the mastectomy and my axilla cleared - I believe he said I would have radiation if the tumor was more than 5cm or in the blood vessels which fortunately it wasn't.
I did have dexamethasone - I came home armed with drugs! They gave me dexamethasone by IV and also in tablet form at home.
It's possibly further up but I can't find it - when do you start?
I have unfortunately had a return of the nausea today - took me completely by surprise after feeling so well. Not sure if its the chemo or a bit of a bug. Still waiting for my hair to start falling out.
Hope you are going well.
