Docetaxel, Carboplatin, Phesgo - anyone else on this regime?

Hi @rh88

I wasn’t on this regime but I know somewhere you will more than likely find someone that is. There is a very friendly and supportive group called HER2 and need some buddies you may want to join. Here’s the link.

HER2+ and need some buddies

I wasn’t on a trial but had 5 days higher dose radiotherapy instead of 15 days lower dose. I was at Velindre in Cardiff. I was advised that it’s better for you as you have less hospital travel/time and that previous research had shown it was just as effective as 15 days. The Fast Forward trial was between 2011-2014 and published in 2010. For me being 30 miles away from the hospital, 5 days was so much better.

Have you joined the monthly chemo starters threads? I found it extremely supportive sharing and supporting each other through out treatments.Here is the link for May 2026

May 2026 chemo starters

This topic is for anyone starting chemo in May to share thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment. You can find more info on chemo on our pages: Chemotherapy for breast cancer | Breast Cancer Now

I was on two groups as I thought I was having chemo first but ended up with surgery then chemo. Reading previous months threads and using the search engine is really good for looking for things that may have been discussed previously.

Take care
