Well I had 3 EC and 4 paclitaxel that finished in August. Then had 3 weeks of radiotherapy followed by 1 week of proton boost. I'm now on a phased in return to work. I feel tired and have a few aches but not too bad. I just have to watch my mental health, which is ok for most of the time. I'm finding that I forget words which is frustrating.
Big hugs to my metaplastic sisters

Hi Camilla so glad to hear you got clear margins. What a lucky escape you had (although you probably don't feel like that at the moment) as I also had squamous metaplastic and it was so aggressive growing very fast. There is a metaplastic Facebook group that is worth joining as they have polls on what chemo people had for the different types. I had FEC-T and the FEC part worked brilliantly however I only had 2 out of the 4 doxetaxol as the tumour started growing again. That being said I'm living a completely normal life again 3 years on from diagnosis.
good luck and let us know what the next plan of action is for you. X

I had my follow up appointment this morning from surgery and the good news is that the margins are clear and it hasn't spread to my lymph nodes. I was also told that I have Squamous Breast cancer so I'm even more rare at 0.1%. I have to go back next week for another appointment with the oncologist as he want to research and look at the pathology in more detail, plus he's ordered a full CT body scan to check me out. So no further with the treatment plan so far but feel more positive than I did before the appointment!
