New Here & Need Words of Wisdom
Hello. I've been lurking but decided to join today.
I was diagnosed in June with PR-/ER-/HER2 positive cancer. I had my sentinal nodes excised during my medi-port placement and they were negative. So far, good news, right?
Well I started neoadjuvant chemo in June - Taxotere, Carboplatin, Herceptin and Perjeta, every 3 weeks - and have had three treatments. A week after the third treatment I had an ultrasound and it showed the tumor hadn't changed. I'm heartbroken and so discouraged. I've read stories about how Herceptin and Perjeta are practically miracle drugs for some people. I guess I'm just not one of them. :/
Thoughts? Advice? Words of wisdom?
Thanks in advance!
