Thanx everyone...
Herceptin is because my tumour was HER2 positive, this is a "gene" that makes the cancer more aggressive, the Herceptin turns it off. It is given IV every 21 days for a year, so I have another 9 months of going to the chemo clinic every 3 weeks still but only for the Herceptin, so doesn't take so long (This is why I got a port-a-cath put in).
I start Tamoxifen this week.
Not having radiotherapy as for me with my family and personal medical history the risks outweigh the benefits and I am in a grey zone anyway (they do radiotherapy if you have a 20% calculated risk of it coming back, my risk is 15% - this is what the radiation oncologist told me), I see the radiation oncologist again on 16th August just to make sure this is the way we are going.
