Breast cancer and Hysterectomy
She is towards the end of her
herceptin
course. It is also our understanding that she has been suffering from thickening of her endometrial lining. It was simple hyperplasia and now the line has further thickened with bleeding. She is 57.

Watch and wait?
Worse still, it was indicated that preop ECX had no effect on my tumour (despite my swallowing improving greatly) Anyway, my regular oncologist was off long term sick and my locum told me I was incurable and prepared me for CX +
herceptin
starting next week.

How I Deal with the Fear of Metastatic Breast Cancer
I have been one of the very fortunate women who had a miraculous response after taking Taxol and
Herceptin
for several years. I have been "NED" (no evidence of disease) for several years and have been off all medication for two years.

Hay Fever on herceptin
Some reassurance for anyone suffering - my consultant casually dropped into conversation that being on
herceptin
can make hay fever symptoms worse 🙄 I've always suffered and take high dose antihistamine every day but still getting itchy eyes/runny nose, the whole thing. But now I know why...

SOPHIA clinical trial
It compares that drug plus chemotherapy to

my tumor shrank away
Treatment with perjeta,
herceptin
and taxotere worked miracle. But next month I had severe allergy to perjeta so the doctor removed the drug from treatment. For now all my lesions are healing but I have mets in my brain. Treatment consists of tykerb and femara.

Women with advanced breast cancer are surviving longer, study says
For example, the drug
Herceptin
, which was approved in the late 1990s, has been shown to lengthen the lives of women with certain aggressive breast cancers.

Fatigue
Hello, is this common: I'm on Abraxane,
Herceptin
and Perjetta. Whenever I eat, and it's usually a small portion that fills me, but I immediately feel fatigue. It's as if eatting takes a lot of energy and I have to literally rest my body afterwards.

Nearly a year post chemo
I had 6 cycles of Docataxel, Carboplatin and
Herceptin
and with added Pertuzumab at cycle 2. I then had bilateral mastectomy and lymph node clearance left axilla. That is all fine. All healed up and no problem. I am continuing on the
Herceptin
and Pertuzumab every 3 weeks.

Strange meeting with oncologist
This means I'm now being offered CX plus
herceptin
(I'm HER2 positive) starting in 6 weeks once I've had time to recover, my wounds have fully healed and I've had a ct. I will then be scanned pretty regularly.

New there, so this is me...
I had 6 rounds of chemo and 3 weeks of intensive radiotherapy and went on to
herceptin
. I went to my 1 year check up and mentioned that I had a large lump in my neck and thought is was because I had a cold. They sent me for a FNA and low and behold the cancer was back.

How can I support my Mum with breast cancer?
She's going to be treated with chemo, a mastectomy and
herceptin
. At the moment, I'm finding it really difficult to know how to support her. Are there any parents on here that have experienced having cancer - and could you let me know what I could do for my mum that might help?
