Hi everyone
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in July. Unfortunately it was also in my lymph nodes but luckily no secondaries. I am to have chemo every other week for 16 weeks (EC & Paclitaxel) then surgery and radiation.
I have already had 2 rounds of EC- that stuff is no joke!
Today I have found out that I have a blood clot in one of the superficial veins in my arm. They have put me on blood thinners for a week. I am assuming this is just another delightful side effect but wondered if anyone else has had the same? I am now obviously anxious about infection as the clot disperses.
Another thing I am struggling with is that I feel like I have lost my identity. I can’t mum like before or wife and I am obviously signed off from work.
Thanks for reading x
