I'm new to the group.  I was dignosed of breast cancer 2 months ago, had lupectomy surgery in 21 Nov.  Now I'm in an extremly anxiety about chemo  and really would like to have some professional advice or others to share experience.

1. Can I handle it all by myself  :  I lived alone.  My family not living in the UK.  I'm so afraid if I can take care of myself during chemo.  I keep searching info but most would say it vary from person to person.  Want to hear other people experience. 

2. Timing for Chemo  :   I was suppose to meet doctor today for my pathology report after the surgery.  However the appointment was cancelled becase the report is not ready.   It is extended to 30th Dec. This means I have no idea yet when will the chemo to start.  People told me best timing for chemo is 4-6 weeks after surgery.  Seems I missed the best timing.  Is it normal and safe to start chemo 8-10 weeks after surgery ?

Will appreciate it any of your feedback and guidance.   

Wish you all have a lovely holiday.
