Women under 40

[emmastarr]

Hi Girls!
I was diagnosed on Feb 4th 2010 at the age of 32. I have two young boys, Louis 5 and Noah 2. Have been lucky to have lots of help from my parents and friends. I found the chemo a struggle, I only did 5 out of 6. I was hospitalised twice during chemo due to infections and always had problems with my white blood count that continues to this day. Am having no real problems with tamoxifen but the herceptin has been hard at times. I had to stop it a few months ago due to a low ejection fraction, it went back up to normal range after a break and it has since dropped again after two more treatments. I'm hoping that my Onc will allow me to finish my last 5 treatments. I'm starting to get edgy at the prospect of finishing herceptin, as it's my security blanket.
As Jenny says, I'm praying herceptin is as good as the hype!
