just wondered if there is anyone out there in a similar position. I had a partial mastectomy 4 weeks ago and am now on arimadex tablets starting radiotherapy soon. Also had an echo cardiogram today before starting Herceptin next week.

best regards christine x

Only advice I can give is don't panic!! You can stay at stage 3 for quite a while by looking after yourself. Watch our diet. I wish you luck with your treatment and please keep us up to date with houw you get on xxx Sorry I can't give you anymore advice, but hopefully there will be someone on here with some x

Hello Christine, I think I'm beginning to find my way around on here. I have just read your profile and can sympathise and empathise over the CKD and breast cancer, having been there. Thanks for your helpful comments in answer to my first post a few weeks ago. I hope you are doing well now.

Regards,

Penny

Hi Penny

Thank you for your kind words, I am doing great from the breast cancer side of things. 2 years clear and still keeping fingers crossed. I am pretty stable on the renal failure last GFR 41 so quite pleased with that. My major problem is flank and side pain on the right side, possibly due to large cysts pressing on nerves. I am just trialling pregabalin which seems to be helping.

If I can help you in any way do not hesitate to contact me.

Best wishes

Christine.
