Hi I’m 31 and have been diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, and I’m on a 8 cycle chemotherapy plan over 16 weeks and then surgery for a lumpectomy.
I found out day after the lockdown was announced so I haven’t been able to see family, attending treatment myself I was ok and coping, but now I just feel angry and keep contemplating chemo it’s the unwell feeling I have for about a week after it’s horrible I have a 7 year old and 10 month old baby, so finding it hard hubby has been amazing but it’s not the same
