Hello
Looking for any advice and some honest opinions. My mum after session 8/12 of chemo had an ultra sound and results were that it had shrank but not by much. Appreciate it’s better than no reduction or growing but I am gutted that she has endured the chemo for only a slight reduction. The treatment she had was Trastuzumub, Pallitaxel and Pertuzamab. Should I be grateful and it’s just a bad moment or is there anything else I can do to help x
Hi sorry you haven’t had a reply yet . I’m sorry your Mum has had disappointing results from her scan . Hopefully someone will be able to share experiences which will make you feel more positive . You could also ask about this in the Ask the Nurses section or ring them to talk this through ?
Hi so sorry about your Mums results but I sure the oncologist will give her more treatments, I have got to make up my mind weather to have Chemotheraphy or not, my last blood test came back with Liver Elevated so got to have ulstrasound to see what’s going on there. Oncologist is ringing next week with results and talk about having Chemo, I feel at the moment I am to old to go through it I am 77 although Oncologists believes in it because it kills Cancer Cells so might go with what she say’s. How was your mother with the Chemo did she have many side effects I will be having 6 treatments over 6 months.
