Ive just been to see my consultant for my histology results.
(Ive had chemo, then mastectomy)
Consultant said that the cancer was not receptive to hormones so Tamoxifen and Herceptin will not benefit me, so only treatment I have to under go now is radiotherapy.
Is this something to be pleased about??
In one respect I am glad as once radio is over with and ive had my recon I can get on with my life, yet i feel worried and concerned that there isnt anything to help keep the cancer away in future.
Is anyone else in this situation? and how doyou feel about it?
I am herceptin negative but still dont know about my hormone status. I have thought about this loads and about how I will feel both ways. In a way, if I need Tamoxifen I have read about all the horrible side effects with that which I really dont want. But if I am triple negative, there will be nothing else to throw at it - at present I am getting chemo, then will have surgery then radiotherapy - then that will be it!!
So there you go - does not answer your question but just to let you know what I’ve been thinking - scary times both ways!!
