I just had my mastectomy surgery a week ago and after getting my Herceptin infusion this week My oncologist now wants to switch me to the TDM one for the next infusion. I will have 14 treatments every three weeks and she says it’s a gentle or former of chemo but it has Herceptin and some chemo in it plus some pre-meds .
Any suggestions and advice will be greatly appreciated.
Praying for you, May God surround you with His peace and give you extra courage and love. Sending loving hugs and positive thoughts!

I am seven years out breast reconstruction and having four days of itching and pulsing tingling with no relief in sight. Seriously wishing I had just gone flat. I don't think there is enough education of reconstruction long term and what it means. I feel like I had no information and assumed since women had been doing this for decades the risk was low. I had saline which was considered safe at the time in 2015.
Please consider calling your surgeon's office, and let them know. Hopefully, they can check everything out and get you something that can provide some relief- itching, whatever the cause, is never… read more
