Feeling overwhelmed and anxious
hi everyone i have been diagnosed with breast cancer with HER2+ , stage 2a. I saw the oncologist for the first time yesterday and I will be having the following- FEC x 3 cycles, 3 weekly then TH x 4 cycles, 3 weekly, followed by Herceptin only for 13 cycles, 3 weekly. I am considering a port as I had such a horrible time with needles recently when I went back into hospital with an infection in my breast. The thought of a cannula every 3 weeks is making me feel sick. The oncologist thinks I should give the cannula a go the first time and I can have a port or picc if I want for the following treatments. I only have one good arm they can use due to an auxiliary clearance. He also said that I could have the 13 cycles of Herceptin injected straight into my leg rather than IV. Has anyone had experience of this? thanks so much.
