So I cried at the cancer center for the 1st time....
I had my 1st onc appointment after surgery today. I already knew I still had cancer left and I have to do a year of "baby chemo". And radiation. And 75 thousand more scans.
So he goes into I have a choice, now my onc doesn't use chemo names, he does the activation of them and my brain is fried so sorry if these are wrong. Exp I did TCHP, no idea of WHAT chemo I did, just know that lol
So anyway, my choices for baby chemo. TDM1 the FDA approved next step, mild side effects. Precent of good things 30%. New study that just came out Oct 2025, pretty sure the study is called destiny breast 2025. It's called TXDX, or something just know it has 2x cause death lol. Onc said it's MADE for me!!! Stronger to make sure gets rid of it all. Does cause lung damage in 1 out of 10. But get a chest CT every 6 weeks. 56% chance it does good stuff.
Ok I will try that one if my insurance covers it. As I'm walking out the door....oh yeah side effects are comparable or even to the side effects of TCHP. I cried. A YEAR OF BAD!!!! A year of diarrhea 17 times a day. A year of bad mouth taste. Probably a year of no hair. A year.....
