Hello,
I have been diagnosed with oestrogen positive breast cancer. I will start chemotherapy after I have had all the staging scans. I feel nervous about the chemo and the results of the tests. I’m trying to distract myself but I am scared
Hi, it's absolutely normal to be scared, I was terrified to begin with, but I certainly found once I had a clear treatment plan, things were easier. Good luck
Hi there
I have oestrogen postive breast cancer too
I have just had my first chemo last week
I get how you feel , you Probally feel in limbo now and the not knowing dates/ plans will make you feel nervous.
once you have a set treatment plan with dates and you know what’s gonna happen it should help you feel more in control
good luck
have you got anyone to talk to ?
sometimes just sharing how you feel helps .
