![]() ![]() I think it just becomes symbolic? I was SO SO happy after I had done my last one. ![]() It was silly really that I dreaded them so much because,as you know, the whole process only takes half a minute, and isnt sore. I had to do them for 7 days after each of the 6 chemo sessions I had, so if I remember my times tables correctly ( and honestly with my brain at the moment that is not a given ) that is 42 jabs, which I think is pretty standard for my ER positive /HER negative treatment. I didn't have any side effects either with the filigrastim, and my bloods were thankfully ok throughout. How many chemo treatments are you getting? I found the beginning the hardest mentally, and that I felt less overwhelmed once I reached the half way point. Hi I hope nothing we are saying on here is making you more scared. I hope this helps, any other questions ask away xx ![]() After your op they will tell you the pathology of your cancer ie what was left after the chemo has bashed it, I think once they go through that with you you will feel a little more relaxed and other than that it is time cancer free that will make you feel better. You have to take the positives of your situation and that you are having a good response to chemo is great. The cancer I am being treated for now is in my left breast and is Triple Negative. I had a complete response and as yet it hasn’t come back. My original cancer was in 2018, it was HER2+ and in my right breast. If you get a pathological complete response which has become more common amongst HER2 since the use of those two drugs it increases your overall survival rate. I assume you are having pertuzamab (Perjeta) and herceptin. You are right HER2 is more aggressive but if it is going to turn up elsewhere it usually happens within 5 years. Hi completely understand your fear, I think it is what we are all scared of. ![]()
