After breast cancer: 12 years out, questions about recurrence
Breast Cancer | Last Active: Jul 1, 2022 | Replies (79)Comment receiving replies
Hello
I start another round of chemo on Monday 4/11.
I had a successful bi lateral mastectomy.
For HER2 + invasive breast cancer stage 3 on 3/22.
I am healing and recovering well.
Herceptin and per(sp) are what my targeted chemo drugs were and I will continue with them.
Radiation will start soon for 5 weeks.
I feel sore but great, i had very little side affects from my 7-8 hour chemo on the first round.
This round should be 4 hours, yeah.
I have requested with my Dr. That my lymph node tumor be sent to the tumor board to confirm what type of breast cancer - they did not respond well to chemo and what may be the plan…
Xeloda meds orally?
Waiting for some summer flowers to start blooming.

Glad you'll be here when they do, your post is reassuring that life goes on and cancer just a part of it.
A friend's mango tree is abloom with a bumper crop. I don't have a photo but they look and smell lovely and the bees in his yard look a tad drunk so might be busy pollenating. I'll think of you at his first harvest. Cheers!

Hello, I am glad to hear you are doing pretty well after your chemo. Herceptin in your frontline is a good thing even with all the possible issues. Having to go back through to get it wasn’t really great either. I am really happy that you can tune out some of the noise and look at the positive. You can do 4 hours easy after the marathon infusion! I thought I would send you some flowers today. Do you have a scheduled start date for radiation? Are they waiting until after chemotherapy?
