@sunflower9 great news your margins and nodes were clear. I started chemo about 9 weeks post surgery. I had surgery 5 July 2023 and chemo started 14 September 2023. Between those times, I had to recover, had post op check, then called back to oncology team, arrange a MUGA scan which is a heart scan before Herceptin started with chemo ( some units do an Echo scan, then back to clinic to sign forms, pre chemo bloods then start chemo.
@woody2 so pleased your surgery went well. Be kind to yourself and take to feel. Waiting for your results is always an anxious time even if you alread6 think you’ll probably be on Kadcyla, there are several wonderful ladies on here who have that treatment.
As far as recurrence etc, have you done the Moving Forward: Finishing treatment can be hard, and it can be difficult to move forward with your life. You can access our support online or face-to-face.
