Hi folks,
Sorry for taking so long to reply but since I last posted, my surgeon has decided that reconstruction is now a possibility. Yipee..
It seems he was uneasy about doing the surgery because the secondary was on the chest wall, deep into the muscle. If it wasn't for Herceptin, I would have had to lose the pectoral muscle (Hooray again for Herceptin), which would have meant, plastic surgery and would also have meant I would not have full use of my left arm...
When I saw Mr Murphy, he sugested, after speaking to my onc, that I come back in jan, with a view to stopping Herceptin and go through tests to make sure the cancer has gone completely..if after 6 months off Herceptin and I am still NED, then he will perform my reconstruction... ( Yipee again)
I know everyone feels and reacts differently but I need this op and then maybe I can get on with my life, Its like an obsticle I can't get over.
Thanx all for replying and keep well
God Bless
Geraldine
