  • Good luck with your treatment @Opoho. Rotten time to be dealing with all this with Christmas just about on us. But, I guess there is never a good time! xx
  • Thank you 🙏 I start treatment on 8 December 
  • Hello @Opoho, just wanted to send my best wishes to you. 💐💐💐
  • Just moving my reply across too ..... I am So sorry to hear that @Opoho - I have a few personal local friends going down the same path. xx

    The Herceptin can be a real game changer & I hope it is for you xx. Hopefully you won't have any issues with the Radium treatments ... make sure you keep the area well moisturised after each session - and if it looks red/inflamed or the skin 'breaking down' - let your Breast Care Nurse (or the Rads Nurses) know immediately you notice it. xx

    I hope you have strong family/friend support around you, to help you get thru these initial stages xx. If there is anything that we can do to help, just ask xxx

    Take care & all the best for the Rads xx

    Feel free to join the private Metastatic Group ... where you can discuss all issues in private, with those going thru it xx @Mez_BCNA ... could you arrange @Opoho to join the group please?
