HER2+ Advanced BC Liver Mets
Hi, in the last month i have been diagnosed with HER2+ advanced BC liver mets. This has been a massive shock to say the least. I am 46 yrs and have had problems with my left breast for over 12 mont...
Hi Melissa, Its so overwhelming isn't it!! My inital diagnosis straight up was HER2+ plus met in verterbrae. Following chemo and radiation (none to the verterbrae) my scans are showing that the bone "started healing" and is no longer detected. Of course, it doesn't mean I am remission - they like to call it "responding well to treatment", which means I have a life long road of continual treatment, scans etc and at 44 it is sometimes really annoying.
I had acupuncture a few days after each chemo session, not sure if that is what helped me get through it quite easily compared to others. It was either that or having selfish teenagers in the house meant I didn't have time to lay around feeling sorry for myself!! :D
I feared it was all over for me, but there are so many ladies on here who have survived without too many complications for many years. After all the treatment you will hopefully be doing a happy dance with the results.
