Phesgo

Diagnosed July 2024, started treatment Aug 24 with 7 cycles of chemotherapy with EC x3 Docetaxol x4 , completed December 24

Surgery in the form of therapeutic mammoplasty with removal of tumour bed

Managed 16 out of 18 cycles of phesgo for HER2 positive BC ( last injection 18.8.24)

Radiotherapy x10 with boost for the last 5 sessions (march 24)

Tumour bed removal ( January 24) and mri scan showed complete response

Currently On anastrozole for ER positive BC and bisphosphonates too

Has anyone out there managed to complete their 18cycles of phesgo ?

I struggled laterly with all sorts of niggly infections and problems which made me feel quite low , my ejection fraction dropped by 10% so have had to start ramipril as per protocol I had Covid , a wound infection and an awful reaction to the shingles vaccination and am still left with a rash 5 months later

It was all going so well & I never missed any treatment due to low counts / illness

I made the call to stop phesgo after cycle 16 and now I’m starting to feel stronger and fitter

Was this the right call??
I think it was for me
