My reoccurrence was found in my bilateral 6 month ultrasound (diagnostic mammogram didn’t find it) Same cancer and localized as the 1st time. Had a right auxiliary lymph node dissection. (5 lymph nodes removed) inconclusive- cancer Not in lymph nodes but in the tissue around one lymph node. I am In the middle of taking Gemzar/Carboplatin- 3 more treatments left. This regimen is worse than the Red Devil and Taxol. Spent 9 days in hospital due to dangerously low platelets and WBC counts. Had 3 blood transfusions and daily Zarxio injections.. and now my Gemzar/Carbo doses are 20% reduced. And then my port stopped working. Had to be removed & replaced , then both incisions became infected. Absolutely horrible. After chemo, I will have 25 rads with No boosts.
