I was dx Sept 2015 triple postive. Stage 2. I completed chemo early ( stopped after 5 rounds due to ulcer). 5 weeks after stopping chemo I developed gout. Went on strong meds for it as it was so painful. Did lumpectomy without complications. No node involvement. Started radiation and 1/2 way thru developed a rash all over my body. Dr hadn't seen it before. I was admitted into ICU for 3 days on morphine as they thought this could be fatal "Stephen Johnson Syndrome". Biopsy cleared me of this dx. Scared my Onc dr to death! Finished radiation early due to sever slothing and burns. Thought all was ok until Aug 2016 when I developed severe telangiectasia ( bloody spider viens under breast). Saw 4 dr's to treat this and finally settled on a Vascular Sugeon who is treating me with sclaratharpy(?). It hurts from all the shots and hope it clears it up. Now I have gout for life and my Onc dr wants me to keep my port in for 2 more years tho I finished Herceptin Oct 2016. Anyone else asked to keep their port in after Herpection? If so, why?
