Just an update; I was given an injection of Prostap on Wed 31st Aug to suppress my ovaries. I had my SLNB last Friday 2nd Sep went in at 11:00 and was home for 18:00. Pain hasn't been to bad from the SLNB just a little sore other than been an emotional wreck I think the mix of codeine and been thrown into a pseudo menopause where not a good combination. I have had side effect from the Prostap tiredness, nausea and hot flushes however these only lasted a couple of days. The main think that has bothered me is the dizziness and headache, I still have a dull headache now. I will see what happens at the end of the month when I get my next Prostap injection as I will have started chemo by then. I am due to start chemo on Friday 16th Sep, and I go to hospital tomorrow for my SLNB results so fingers crossed. I will be having 6x Taxotere and Carboplatin, has anyone else had this combination? I don't need to have Herceptin as my HER2 was negative. I worked out my last treatment should be on 30 Dec, my 31st birthday so I shall not forget the date! Everything seemed to be moving slowly from diagnosis but now things are in place it all seems to be flying by, I hope the next 3.5 months fly whilst having chemo I will look forward to saying goodbye to 2016.
