Good evening fellow 2025 starters,
Usually when January arrives I’ll be promising that I’ll be taking better care of myself by exercising, eating healthily, reading more books, taking up a new hobby, seeing my friends more regularly. This year I’m joining a new group, the January chemotherapy starters.
I’m in the triple positive group - HER2, oestrogen and progesterone long haulers as my treatment is going to continue into 2026. My strategy will be one day time a time otherwise it will seem insurmountable.
My cancer is in my left breast however on New Year’s Eve, after my initial appointment with the oncologist I underwent MRI guided biopsies of the right one as there were a couple of ‘indeterminate’ areas on the MRI scan. If it’s there too, so be it, it can go in the summer with the left one along with a good riddance!
Currently waiting for an appointment for the PICC line insertion and dates to meet the nurse and to get started.
@overwhelmednewbie there is a thread for us HER2 ladies. I have found it a really helpful and positive read particularly as our treatment goes on for more than a year. Great to hear about people getting through the other side
