Breast Cancer Now Forum

Hi LyndaN    I can’t remember when my surgeon said I could run again. Whether he said 3 or 6 months. I know my skin was very thin after the surgery and he was quite concerned with it splitting!! However I did email the Bcn last week to ask her and she was supposed to reply but hasn’t yet. I’ve also signed up to a talk this Friday -through the breast cancer care website - with a surgeon that’s about reconstruction so hopefully I’ll be able to ask some questions there. If I find anything out I’ll post on here. Xx ... View more

Hi Seaside Sar !  Thank you for the welcome. I was diagnosed December and had left side mastectomy in January. Been a bit of a rollercoaster from the start from initially being told I’d only need surgery to then surgery and radiotherapy and now the whole lot.  So I started chemo feb 7th. Weekly taxol with 3 weekly Herceptin. So far it’s not too bad. Compared to others on here I’m getting away lightly with side effects. Mainly just extremely tired and neuropathy in fingers.  I live on my own with little outside support so I’m grateful that so far I’m managing fine. Judt hoping it continues that way.  Xx   ...

Thank you MBJ !! You seem a great bunch - though took a while to catch up on all the posts and everyone seems to know each other so well already.  Yes it certainly is the group I never wanted to join ! Xx     ... View more

Aww thank you for replying- no I don’t seem to have that option on my iPhone. Not very technical here !  Ive tried replying/ posting on the original person who posted on the group - February 2019 chemo starters and see if they can make sense of it.  Thanks again xx ... View more

Hi - not sure if I’m replying to just you Mai7 or the whole page. Hoping to join the February 2019 chemo starters group if it’s not too late ??  I started chemo on February 7th and only recently found this group.  I’m on weekly Taxol for 12 weeks and herceptin every 3rd.  Hope it’s not too late to join in - but I’m on an iPhone and not sure what or where I’m posting or who can read this !
