New entry from Italy!
Melinda, very kind, told me I've post my first thread in the wronge place! Now I paste and copy it here! Thank you girls, you're great!
I'm Malena from Italy (sorry since now for my english)! I'm 37 (OK, I'm actually 36, 37 in May.......), I was diagnosticated in sept 05, I have mastectomy in feb 06 (ductal, 4 cm). I had 4 chemios before the surgery and 4 after the surgery. No rads. My cancer is hormone negative, but is HER2 positive. This seemed good for me in a first time.
I started Herceptin in July 06. I was happy because in italy herceptin was a very new drug (our government gave in january 06 the permission to use it on no metastatic woman before the approval of the european community). Unfortunately after 2 infusion of the drug I had a heart damage (I went to my local emergency room with 15% EF......). So I had to stop immediatly with herceptin.
Now my heart is OK, but I feel with no other changes to stop the cancer.......
I found your site and It is great!!!!!!!!
Malena
