Hi, this waiting for first Oncology appointment feels like it’s never going to happen, everything seemed so straight forward before I got my results. Lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node removal, radiotherapy and tablets for 5 yrs… now I’ve been told samples have been sent for oncotype test so have to wait to see if chemotherapy may help as cells discovered in one of the lymph nodes. I really want to get back to normality, keep having meltdowns when alone. Everyone keep saying you’re strong, and I want to scream I’m not but instead say yes I know Missing my work and just hate the fact that can’t plan anything until I know what’s happening. So many good shows on at the moment but can’t book any, or make any holiday plans. Hopefully will hear next week, then maybe everything will fall into place.
sending you all love and hugs
I know I’m the same, when you know you can’t do something’s you want to and think you’re missing out
I didn’t get the onco test as was in 1 of the 4 nodes taken out but it is available here in Scotland and girl I was in hospital with got it and hers took 3 weeks to come back.
I’m having 4 EC and 4 Paxitacal and 3 down so far. I should be 4 but caught covid just before 2nd round so delayed by a fortnight but luckily had no symptoms at all.
Chemo isn’t as bad as I imagined it would be, constipation is my main issue 1st week and day 6/7 feel wiped out but other than that manageable. I lost my hair after 1st cycle so shaved it and although got a wig it’s not bothered me as much as I thought and don’t wear it, it’s too much faff, instead I wear some great headwear I’ve ordered from Shein.
Hope you don’t have to wait much longer, take care xx
