Re: Triple Positive
Hi I’m triple positive. I was diagnosed in October 2020. I had a bilateral mastectomy in November. I started chemo with herceptin in January, I’ve had 14 with 2 to go and herceptin until February next year. I start radiation in July for 5 weeks. I then have 10 years of Letrozole. I also have zoladex every month and they have referred me to get my ovaries out so I can stop getting the zoladex injection. I had 5 positive lymph nodes. I was told I had a 25% survival rate without treatment and 50% with treatment. I feel good and I’m tolerating chemo! I’m trying not to look at the % and go with I’m feeling good! good luck with your treatment23Views1like0CommentsNew and wanting to say hi 🙋♀️
