I don't really know how to start.  On the whole I cope reasonably well since being diagnosed last November with Breast Cancer. It was found by chance, very early.......and then came the HR2 positive part.  I've had a lumpectomy followed, so far by 3 rounds of Chemotherapy, with the 4th in 2 weeks and I can cope with that.  I think!  Every so often I hit my personal brick wall and that's when I don't know what to do. The Chemo will be followed by radio therapy. but no idea when that starts or how many I have to have.  I think that it is harder when one is one ones own and unsure.  I hate the expression "it is what it is" but it is:)

I also have to inject Filgrastim for 5 evenings 4 hours after Chemo and for me, that is the 'killer'.  The pain from the apparent boost to my immunity goes through every bone in my body including my gums!  Yuk.

I know there are so many many people much more sick than I am which makes me feel a little guilty to be bothering/boring you all.............

Be better, stay safe and we will get through.
