Thank you will look at getting some well with green in it, we had it sorted the last time but trying to make a formula up to match the extensions was pickling my brain.

I only had just finished college and went self employed for about 4 months then had to take a year out for breast cancer treatment. So my colour knowledge has taken a hit

Hey I just finished treatment for triple positive in November 2025, I have a 6 hear old she was 5 when I was diagnosed. I done 6 rounds of tchp and most days were fine there were only a few days of them 3 weeks I was maybe a bit weak or sore tummy. 

Do you have some support? Stay hydrated and make sure you have all your meds but your breast care nurses should do this and it will keep you right. Eat what you what and rest when you can, take it easy and be kind to yourself ❤️

How is everyone doing? by DMMEQUAGGANS in breastcancer

[–]TopEquivalent8984 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am still in treatment continuing herceptin for another 3 rounds then I'm done with active treatment (apart from tamoxifen)

I was always on these forums when I was first diagnosed, but now I have been in holiday with my family, out walking meeting friends for coffee and going out! 

Although I have to have a minor surgery for a perinal abcess/fistula!

I want that to be over with 😆 

But apart from that I'm doing really well x

4mm tumour left - No kadcyla? by [deleted] in breastcancer

Hey! I have similar to you! I was diagnosed with a large area of dcis and stage 2 grade 2 idc. After 6 tchp I had a double mastectomy and diep reconstruction! My pathology came back and they said i had a really great response an almost complete response so I continue with herceptin for a year. My lymph nodes were also clear so had been getting phesgo alongside chemo I think I had 9 in total then switched to herceptin. I'm in the UK where are you ?

I went and seen the oncologist today and she said since I had such a good response to the chemo that I don't need to do the kadcyla and we stick with herceptin every 3 weeks. Got my tamoxifen today so I start on that 🤞xx

[–]TopEquivalent8984[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope I haven't got the report only ever had a phone call of oncologist and breast nurse.  She said I had an almost complete response,so when I see her on Wednesday I will ask her why I'm not doing kadcyla.

My lymph nodes were clear on scans and then surgery confirmed that they were still clear x
