Hey all, It's lovely to read so many helpful responses to all that has posted. Very caring community.
I just wanted to introduce my self as I've just joined today.
I was diagnosed with Breast cancer in May this year at 47. It had spread to lymphnode. I had breast conserving surgery and a sentinel lymphnode removal. Both healed well.
Just had my first cycle of EC after 4 weeks move onto 12 weeks of paclitaxel (not sure if I spelt that right lol.) but hey ho. Having digestive issues so far from pills they give. Drinking peppermint tea. Lactulose and whatever is safe to take to help relieve it. Hoping it goes soon.
I wish everyone well on there journey.
There war, there Battle..
speak to you soon
Take care all
