Testing, treatment, side effects, and more.
Anyone have feedback who has done Taxol plus Herceptin? I just met with a medical oncologist to discuss possible chemo as I was thought to have DCIS but in fact, at mastectomy, was found to have about 8 foci of microinvasion (defined as < 1mm each). I was wondering what your experience has been with the TH regimen. The…
Hello, has anyone been told they need to be on the loading dose of Phesgo 1200-600 every 3 weeks for 18 injections? I read that the first dose is 1200-600 and the remaining should be 600-600 as a maintenance.
Hi, I had HER2+ stage 1 breast cancer in 2016. Had a mastectomy with chemo for 12 weeks and Herceptin for a year. Does anyone know if it's ok to have a protein powder that may contain soy? It states, may contain soy. Is soy bad for breast cancer survivors? Thank you for any responses.
Hello, Did anyone get Goldilock breast surgery after getting radiation treatment? I am wondering the risks of this surgery for patients who already get radiation. Also, I am a 38C bra person. After this surgery, what is the change that I have a breast-like apperance. Thank you
Hello- I am triple positive stage 2- status post lumpectomy, taxol with herceptin/pertuz, 30 day radiation.

Hi, after doing significant research, I've realized that TCHP is the international standard chemotherapy for neoadjuvant Her2 positive breast cancer. However, my wife's oncologist says he prefers AC. She just had her 1st infusion of AC. I also discovered that the AC is down dosed by 25%. Normally in the AC leg the standard…
I was initially diagnosed with HER2+ IDC & DCIS in 2017. I underwent chemo, radiation, and a lumpectomy and was completely in remission. In January 2020 I had a DMX after a DCIS diagnosis. I finished complete reconstruction in October of last year. Now, I am facing another HER2+ IDC diagnosis in the limited amount of…
I started TCHP for Her2+ invasive breast cancer in January. I had 6 treatments, every 3 weeks. I had the last chemo part of the treatment (T&C) this week. Whilst I am glad to be done with that part of the treatment, there is still a bit of a road ahead. I have surgery in a month's time. My MO was saying that, after…
Can someone please clear up whether women who have hormone positive breast cancer can have soy milk or not? Studies on this subject are very conflicting. I asked my oncologist and she said it’s ok to have. I’m so confused.
I am looking to connect with anyone who has gone through Taxol plus Perjeta Therapy. I am being prescribed this as a preventative of recurrence of Invasive ductal carcinoma stage 1.
