So I was diagnosed Her2 positive, estrogen postive, grade 3. Massive tumour....am told they couldnt fit it all on the screen!! So i had the works: masectomy, FEC-T x6, Herceptin -had to stop at 6 months as was affecting my heart, 15 rounds of rads and then a year later DIEP reconstruction. Was put on Letrozole after my masectomy, horrible reaction, did better on examastane. Stuck it for 7yrs but then effects on my body & mind were too great so chose to stop. 4 months later feeling much better..... So there is life after cancer treatment. But whatever you decide take good advice from your oncologist......they know the score and know your own particular case and the risks you run. Having said that at the time I thought I was on a dodgy wicket but I was wrong!! I was very lucky and took all the treatment offered.......if I hadnt doubt Id be here still, still clear of cancer.......wow! Keep going it took me ages to recover from all the inital treatment so be kind. Some people bounce back quicker than others.... xx
