Hi I’m Karen and new to this site, I am 53 I started my chemo on 1st September 2022. I was diagnosed with Invasive ductile carcinoma tumour nearly 3cm. I had 2 biopsy’s one from tumour and other from Lymph node. It appears that lymph was clear but truly won’t know until surgery. I am Oestrogen negative, progesterone 5/8 positive and HER neg. I am essentially close to a triple neg, bit because of progesterone positive I am not entitled to a gene test. My treatment is weekly PAClitaxel for 12 weeks then 4 rounds of EC every other week then surgery then radiotherapy. I had my 6th Paclitaxel yesterday and so far not so bad. I also had my 1st infusion of Zoleacid for bones. I have been told I am going for a scan on 27th October to see chemo is working and shrunk the tumour. I am really really anxious again now thinking it isn’t worked when I’ve been so positive. Has anyone had the same diagnosis as me? Hello to everyone through this terrible time xxxxxxxxx
