Hi all, good to see everyone is getting towards the end of their chemotherapy. My final one was three weeks ago (I had six three-week cycles). It feels great to be at the other end and not have to go downhill again just when I start feeling fine. I only had to go in today for my Herceptin injection. This will be every three weeks for a year and then I am also on Taxomifen tablets for now. I hope I don't get fat. I decided to have the radiotherapy treatment that was offered to me. I would prefer not to, due to possible damage to my reconstruction. Also, I will have to stay in the patient lodge during the week because I live too far away for a daily commute. However, for me radiotherapy ups the survival rate somewhat but significantly, and I don't think I would feel comfortable knowing I didn't throw everything at it. So, hopefully I will get through it OK. Like everything else, the side effects are unpredictable. I feel better now having made a decision. First, I will go on a trip at the beginning of May, a few days for work and then a few days for my family.
