Hi, I have HER2 positive cancer diagnosed late October. I have now had 2 operations to remove the tumour, lymph nodes and further tissue and am due to start chemo on the 7th January. I won’t have the information session until the day before, as it has had to be cancelled twice due to an infection, so only have a vague idea of what to expect. I do know I’m to have 3 cycles of EC followed by 3 of docetaxel, pertuzumab and herceptin. I also had a CT scan just before Christmas which showed some area on a bone that they want to check out further 🙁 . As you can imagine my anxiety levels are very high at the moment and I am really struggling to sleep. My fear has always been that the cancer could have spread and now this is all I can think about - especially in the night. I’ve never posted online before but am hoping to be able to share experiences with others going through the same thing.
