    Dee! I just started my first round of chemo for stage 2 HER2 positive breast cancer. I’m on day #6. Days 3,4,5 I felt really awful. Tired and achy and not really functioning. My Zarxio injections on days 3-9 really make me achy. Thank you for positing your cancer journey. You have been a joy to watch and very informative. I hope you are happy and healthy!! 😘

    I had my first chemo on 9 sept for breast cancer. Docacetal drug reacted me very badly. Felt very short breathe and blurred vision. They stopped that drug for the session.

      David A thanks David! I’ve done four rounds now and finally used to it. Taxol is next but definitely feel that the chemo is working! Hope your mom is doing well now!

      Dee Doherty listen, right now, this is all scary and super gloomy and dark, but you’re going to be fine. Just like the ole ship story- youve got to just take down your sail right now, ride out the storm, then... you’ll see sunlight again and you can put your sail back up and go on with life. My mom did 4 Red Devils and 12 taxols... she did fine... her hair has came back, she did her surgery... she’s on the mend :)

    I won't go into the reason why I've been looking up Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma but I see most of the patients are a young girls and I can say without a doubt these young girls are so strong and they all seem so positive and strong and their faces always glow and they have this sense of being victorious I always thought I was strong but compared to these girls I realized that I'm weak

    I don't have to have adriamycin for this treatment for breast cancer, but I had it 25+ years ago, for Hodgkin's lymphoma. I was 27. My son was three. You are such a tough, strong mama! It's funny, the things that we remember, or don't. I don't remember peeing red! I do, however, remember the color of the IV bag. I'm a huge #belowdeckmed fan, so still had to try aperol. It's hard to understand the obsession with it; I think it tastes like adriamycin would! 😂(Also, anyone who takes adriamycin needs to keep track of how your heart is doing years later, for what is known as 'late effect' heart problems. There are great medications now to help protect the heart, both during chemo and years later.) Cheers!

    Thanks for sharing. When you found your lump, did it have any bumps or dents ? Just wondering because I believe you mentioned it took a few months to get seen.

    • @buffya8012
      @buffya8012 4 года назад +3

      Brook McKinney not everyone needs a port it depends on type of cancer ,length of treatment,how good your veins are or how old you are(under age 25 always get one,regardless)....I’ve actually had 3; but my treatments were every week or every 2 weeks for 3 .5 years each time(3x)so a very long treatment regime, unlike someone who may only need treatments once a month for only 6 months
