9 years this week
Hi - just checking in to say that it is 9 years this week since I was dx & had my mastectomy. Seems like yesterday/seems like a lifetime ago.
So far the xeloda/tykerb/herceptin/aromasin combo has been pretty easy on me. I'm having some hfs problems and had one really bad split on the side of my foot which has been painful but so far nothing else.
I did try painting my feet with henna one time - don't think it did much to help but I'm sure I need to do it regularly to make a difference. I was surprised that the henna didn't really stain my skin like I thought it would.
Haven't seen any posts from Sheila lately and hope she's doing well. Also wondering about JML - Jessica. She had the novalis and the liver treatment last week and I hope it was successful and she's doing well.
I don't know yet how this combo is working for me. I have scans on July 6 so will know more then. So glad to know the tdm1 is getting closer as an option.
Love this site - love all of your help and support. Pam
