Hi Scotty I was Her2 +. Had lumpectomy but didn't get clear margins in Feb 2016 followed by a skin saving mastecomy with immediate implant March 2016. Chemo April to August FEC T I did cold cap and maintained a good amount of hair didn't use a wig and managed with top up hair fibres. I started the Herceptin with the 2nd round of T and haven't had any big issues. I worked throughout my treatment working from home during the chemo. Returned to office end of August and had radiotherapy 20th September to 10th October again and thankfully no issues. My herceptin injection continues till mid July had one 21st Dec and due next one 11th Jan. You can do this and whilst you will have dark moments the support on here is great. What is your diagnosis I have a Grade 3 IDC after lumpectomy and SNB one of the 3 nodes the took out had macro traces of cancer so I had a full node clearance when I had my skin saving mastecomy. All the tissue removed and all nodes where clear so effectively the lumpectomy had worked but wasn't prepared to take any chances. The right boob looks great even without a nipple I just want my left one sorting now. I was a G cup so I need the left one reducing. Love and hugs Lou x
