Nimet22's Journey with Breast Cancer

Denial

Going chemo or alternative medicine

First, small surgery to implant a port-a- cat for chemos. Four rounds of strong chemo to reduce tumor size. It worked, but....

Two more rounds of taxol, in combination with radiation to stop cancer that spread to the skin. More side effects.

and more........ can't get only one. But, low white blood cell put me in ER and extra vaccine treatment. Extra: constipation, anxiety, fatigue, hair loss, early menopause, infertility, mouth dryness, nausea, mood changes, rash, rectal fistula, skin changes, shortness of breath (for three days right after chemo), lost of appetite, senses got strong, sexual side effects.

25 rounds of radiation, because cancer spread to skin and surgery can't be done.

pain-less but lot of fear to surgery, fear to "next day" after mastectomy, well recovery.

Five more rounds of radiation after surgery. Little skin burn.

One of two rounds of chemo and put in ER with neurophaty in both legs. Pain killer..morphin!! Second round suspended.

Strong pain, had to use morphin as pain killer. Was the result of combination between chemo and herceptin.

What???? after all that treatment???? Are you kidding me???!!!! yes, back in skin :/ same side right next to the mastectomy scar.

It didn't go as expected, because surgeon had to do drastic procedure with the help of a plastic surgeon to keep cancer out once and for all. Big scar.

After recurrence and surgery, Iam lucky didn't have to do more chemo according to surgery results, and back to continue with Herceptin-Trastuzumab, had to complete a year. I feel like already complete it, but no...with all the obstacles still have four!! more rounds to go......... uffffff, got tired bringing all that back.
