Hello
I haven’t posted anything for a while.
To recap, I was diagnosed in June 2009 with DCIS and had a mastectomy in December 2009 which showed a grade 3 tumour, two lymph nodes postive out of 21 and I am HER2 positive, ER7/8 and PR7/8.
I have had chemo (FEC ok but Taxotere was horrid), had radiotherapy (a relaxing time), on Tamoxifen and just had number 9 of my Herceptin.
I have been back at work since July and my husband took me of a cruise to the Med for two weeks in September.
I do not have any side effects from Herceptin but I have very fine downey hair from Tamoxifen on my face.
I am getting my weight back again and I have changed my diet to help that I do not get a reoccurence again and life a long life. I am 51.
I do not drink alchol anymore as each unit can increase one’s change of getting breast cancer by 10% I think it is. I am now drinking five cups of green tea a day, one glass of pomegrante juice a day, an apple a day, broccoli each day and blueberries and porridge each day.
I am then eating only health foods with a weekly dose on Omega-3. I do have the odd treat now and again in biscuits.
Hope everyone is ok.
