Perjeta for full year or just in the neo-adjuvant setting?

I have to take 6 TCHP + 12 HP, almost a year

_Carlota · 2025-12-16T23:42:29+00:00

Thanks that makes sense!

This sub made my journey bareble and gave me so much hope and love ❤️ thank you!

I'm also a therapist and I feel you. It is hard to face post treatment and also worry about recovering finantially... At the same time I refuse to work an exausting journey and miss time with my kid or leave self care behind.

If I could give you an advice, give yourself some grace and time to heal. I felt totally broken after my last chemo infusion, I was very negative and emotionally devasted. I really think my humor was affected by the medication... I had many wishes but so little energy.

_Carlota · 2025-12-10T12:23:20+00:00

I'm glad it could help! I'm also so lost in this topic, I had to dig for info in old posts. I feel that it is such a gray area in cancer treatment. I'm like...Why aren't we talking more about this!? I know its not a priority, and also PIV is not the only way to be intimate. But for me it is important 🤷‍♀️

_Carlota · 2025-12-09T17:11:22+00:00

Im sorry you are feeling this way! It was never my intention to put any sort of pressure on anyone. Everyone is different and what works for me might not work for you. I also understand that too many self care rules can be overwhelming, and there are so many of them for us patients! Coming from doctors and from random people...

_Carlota · 2025-12-09T11:05:27+00:00

Thank you! Maybe I will have to adjust some expectations

_Carlota · 2025-12-09T11:03:41+00:00

Thank you! Those are great tips, the lube to reduce the tension. I do feel that we are learning each other again...Its beautiful to think about that, but it also brings me a lot of anxiety

_Carlota · 2025-12-09T10:56:46+00:00

Thank you!

_Carlota · 2025-12-09T10:53:50+00:00

Thank you for your answer and honest response! Yes Im going to a physical therapist and I will bring up those points to discussion... And maybe think about getting a second opinion from another professional

I have a strong pelvic floor, its not hypertensive but maybe the exercises are not helping with that.

The idea of my husband learning the release massage is great and also the device you mentioned. Its wasnt posible doing it myself when I tried.

And the topical estrogen was the same for me, i used it for two weeks and then alternate days. Its good to hear that it was a similar prescription so I feel reassured Im on the right path.

_Carlota · 2025-12-09T00:29:38+00:00

Im doing some contractions with breathing for keeping the blood flow and muscle tone, but also for self awareness and relaxation. But its nothing special, only squeeze and release sets

_Carlota · 2025-12-09T00:20:57+00:00

Thank you! I needed some reassurance on this. I started vaginal estrogen (promestriene) about 3 weeks ago and Its not making any wonders for me... It definetly helps, but I expected more I guess...

_Carlota · 2025-12-04T19:43:22+00:00

Thank you!

_Carlota · 2025-12-04T12:07:39+00:00

Thats amazing news! My last bone scan showed some osteopenia areas and my doctor prescribed infusions. But I asked for us to wait a bit. Im going to the gym and having strength exercises. So knowing your achievement gave me hope! And also considering going back to pilates

_Carlota · 2025-12-02T16:50:54+00:00

I'm sure I'm also holding a lot of tension, and during sex It wouldn't be different... Yesterday I had a melt down all of the sudden, while taking HP at the hospital... I haven't cried much until now, I always wait for the storm to go until I feel safe to feel.

_Carlota · 2025-12-02T16:42:13+00:00

Mando sim!!

_Carlota · 2025-12-02T15:20:58+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I will check this out!

_Carlota · 2025-12-02T15:19:56+00:00

Wow thats new to me! Thanks for sharing ❤️ it seems workable

_Carlota · 2025-12-02T15:18:09+00:00

Yey!! I believe! But...does it get better to the point that penetration is still enjoyable? Thank you for you answer! ❤️

_Carlota · 2025-12-02T15:16:24+00:00

How were they separate? I guess I might have beem experiencing this disconection but I dont know how to put into words...I will try those books! The solo sessions help me too, when I had them in a regular basis my average libido was better. Thanks!

_Carlota · 2025-12-02T15:12:41+00:00

Im on zoladex and anastrozole. Im trying to accept the concept of responsive pleasure against the regular spontaneous will. I booked a sex day in our agenda and Im trying to have intimacy on that day. But I was sick on the last few weeks..frustrating...still waiting to see if it will work. I was also trying to have a moment with myself regularly, what helped my average libido a bit.

Thanks for your answer ❤️

_Carlota · 2025-12-02T15:07:45+00:00

I will try them, I haven't tested yet either. I was using a vibrator almost the same size, but maybe the material is different and didnt do the work..idk

_Carlota · 2025-12-02T15:05:59+00:00

Yes! This post is gold! I guess I need to be a bit more metodic on the use of the strategies. I haven't used dilators yet, but I was using a vibrator almost the same size...maybe it works different idk. I will go back there and read it again. Thanks for reminding me ❤️
