Hi all,
I was diagnosed with invasive cancer last week. Hormone negative, but HER2 positive. I’m waiting to see the chemo specialists & get dates for treatment, Had CT last week (didn’t show any spread) and due to have MR scan in a couple of days as a baseline ahead of chemo starting/check if any more biopsies are needed. I had the blood test yesterday to check for the gene. That will take 6 weeks to come back. Will have surgery after chemo some time next year but can’t have radiotherapy as I had it 10 years ago for DCIS, which also limits my surgery options.
I've been really busy for the last week but got a quiet few days ahead & started feeling a bit lost. Feeling the rollercoaster of emotions. Also feel shattered! Guessing this is a normal reaction?
This community is here for everyone who feels lost, shattered with the rollercoaster of emotions.
We are on this unwanted journey together & have differing responses on how to manage. What you are going through is normal.
My advice is to take each day as it comes - if you want to scream, cry, etc - just do it. Rest as much as possible. Remember to be kind to yourself & stay safe.
