Ah bless you must be tough for you but all steps in the right direction xx

He will understand, just explain it to him .  You can have a huge cuddle when he is feeling better before your next chemo xxx

Hey Claud , one step at a time , no need to look now , just heal safe in the knowledge the little critter has gone . Will you have reconstruction surgery later xxxx

Hi Harleybear Hope you are doing ok and resting 

Hi everyone, I have been following this thread and you are all doing so well..  I remember feeling exactly like you Harleybear after my first chemo. I said the same, I can't do this when everything kicked in after a few days and I felt so rough, and then after day 14 I started to feel like I could cope and I had a week when I could get out and do things, by which time it was time for the next round....but I got there and had my 6 sessions.... and you can too.....yes it's tough, but you all can do it......I started my journey in March 2019 and rang the bell in December 2019, had a few more Herceptin injections until March 2020, and every day i count my blessings. 

Love to you all....xxxx

Hi, I.start my chemo on Wednesday and it is so nice to read the positives as I know it is not going to be easy x

Hi your post is inspirational, so your breast cancer was her2 positive. Had my 2nd treatment today, ec x3 then the d  one with herceptin, I can't remember how to spell it ha ha. Drinking loads and loads of water and resting, love and hugs xxxx

Hi harley morning, just wanted to say will be thinking of you for today!

Not sure about recon just yet maybe further down the line but hate the thought of going for op again but keeping an open mind. I will know more on next steps next week after surgeon appointment and pathology report.

Won't pressure myself to look just yet. It's early days and I think priority is let the wound heal up firstly. 

You're right I am sleeping much better which is bonus as I hadn't slept OK since diagnosis day!

Hi, I start my chemo Wednesday.  Really scared with all the side effects that possibly could happen but the oncologist I met on Thursday was lovely and explained everything and reassured me that they will get me through this.  Explained that all the cancer had been taken away and any treatnent from now is to try and prevent a recurrence.  She said because lymph nodes were positive, there is a possibility/probability micro cells could be in my blood stream so hopefully chemo will kill them off.  It still all feels surreal.

Hope you are recovering well.  I feel like I have turned a corner last few days with my recovery from mastectomy.  I am able to drive with very little discomfort now and feel my arm/shoulder movements are so much better too.xx
