Dear flo80, yes, THP is not an easy regiment but some people get "used" to it pretty quickly. Not my wife though - I used to administer her 3-5 day Neulasta shots. On the other hand… always remember, if you suffer, suckers suffer too, and THP is a very powerful combination. Keep us posted and I wish you strength to endure everything, fix everything (you will), and go on living and being happy and cancer free(will be)! Many hugs, Saulius

Hi flo, sorry I don’t know much about the meds used for her2+ as i was triple negative and the meds are a bit different. I’m hoping the cocktail they have you on destroys that one spot as well as any possible remaining cells that might be floating around! Also wanted to throw this out there, idk where u live but winter time where I am means less sunlight and when I had my vitamin d level checked during treatment it was low, so my onc recommended i start taking a vitamin d supplement. Turns out there’s evidence that correcting low vitamin d has been linked to better survival rates in breast cancer, as well as improving immune function. I continue to take it daily, especially in the winter. Just a thought since you mentioned your neutrophils dropped it made me think of that and might be something you could look into. Anyways I really hope you’re feeling ok and hang in there. Hugs :)

preciousbecky23 thank you. Will definitely check my vitamin D level. I went to work yesterday and my manager mentioned that I should take care myself and take short term disability leave. I was like what will I do at home it will make me even more sad. I know she meant for my wellbeing but still I was very emotional
