Pause in Herceptin treatment and schedule for follow-up mammogram
Hi everyone
I am coming up to six months since my diagnosis. I've had surgery, finished chemo, just about to start 30 sessions of radiation and have 13 cycles of Herceptin for HER2+ to go. Last Wed...
Could be with the mammogram they are looking to see if there are any direct areas suspect where the radiation should also be targeted apart from their standard diagnosis of treatment.
Be happy they are staying ahead of the game and ready to alter treatment if there are any blips in the radar so to speak.
Make the most of the Herceptin break to get yourself stronger. Good diet and gentle exercise and time to smell the flowers is a good thing. If the Herceptin has been rough on your heart, just imagine the havoc its been reaping on any stray cancer cells. They shouldn't get their recipe going any time soon. Enjoy the break.
