Have just had an op to take the breast cancer away but now have to go down the route of chemo which has come as a big shock as was told I just needed radiotherapy.
Hi Lady Muck welcome to the best BC support and advice, chemo is not as bad as it's press, when you know which drugs you will be getting post on here and you will no doubt hear from others on the same regime. Love from Ann
I feel well in myself thank you but walking or going in the car in very painful as cannot get my boobs to stay still. Hopefully it will get better as time goes on. How did your chemo go or are you still going through it? Thank you for replying I really appreciate it. Viv xx
Hi Viv yes, I had 7 infusions followed by a lumpectomy, then radiotherapy and then targeted therapy which I finished 4th August this year, 1 year and 4 months of treatment. It is all doable and chemo is definately the worst but it is the price of life. Love from Ann
Glad you ok I'm starting chemotherapy on Thursday next week dreading it but got to do it my oncotype score was high 38 so got to do it my family need me . Hope the pain starts to go soon . Keep on with those painkillers and see you GP if you need stronger ones
Glad to hear you have made it through your treatment and hope you are feeling well. I have had my cancer removed but because of the type of cancer I now have to go down the chemo route. Did you manage to work while having the chemo? Love from Viv x
Will be thinking of you next Thursday. I haven’t had my appointment through yet to see the oncologist. Have you had your op to remove the cancer yet? Like you I have to do it for my family it’s very hard at times though. Thank you for the advice it is much appreciated.
Yes had cancer in both Breasts so had a bilateral mastectomy in August lymph nodes gone . It's been ok really surgery was a breeze it's the cording in my arms and tight chest that's getting me down . And now got to have chemotherapy but I'm ok I will do it . Lucky to be alive really . How you feeling and when will your chemo start. ?
