hi, im back after 6 rounds of chemo, im so sorry ive not been on but it made me soooo ill. ive been in hosp three times.
the last time i couldnt sit up for more than half hour and that was last week. but im finally atthe end of it, just rads to go now which i am dreading. only cos of how ill chemo made me im expecting it to be the same.
i gfet herceptin as wellwhich i know is good, is there ne one who can put my mind at rest on hercetin and rads.
Hi Welcome back! Sounds like you have had a really rough ride, so well done on getting through it. I like you have just finished chemo, and am starting rads then herceptin, so cannot really help on the advice front but going by the other ladies threads it is easier than the chemo, so fingers crossed for both of us. If you look in the undergoing radiotheraphy section, I found it very helpful explaining what happens etc. Thinking of you.
Love and a Hug

I absolutely promise that rads is NOT as bad as chemo.I had both last year and was dreadful with chemo but with rads you may be a bit tired esp if its soon after chemo,your skin may get a bit sore towards the end but start slapping on the moisturiser now[acqueous cream is the recommended one].The worst is over now,dont worry about rads.Love and good luck from horacexx
Yes rads is so much easier than chemo. ( I was so ill with chemo that I ended up stopping after 4.) Apart from the possibility of soreness, and getting a bit tired with all the daily travelling, you should be fine. Herceptin too is much better than chemo. I have had 5 now and I don’t seem to have any noticeable side effects. Have a look in the targeted therapies area and you will see plenty of comments from others. You will have have echocardiograms every 3 months to make sure your heart is ok.
Good luck. The worst of your treatment is behind you now.
