just diagnosed and so scared

Thankyou will ask about it xx

Thanks xx

I have my oncology appointment tomorrow. With all I have been through you would think I would be an old hand at this by now .  The thing is I am really teary tonight and don’t know why .  I know what I want to happen going forward but will the team agree with me .  I’m so stressed xxx 

Is your cancer also triple negative as some of the research I have read says it is not as effective in TNBC . Guess it’s worth the discussion though as there is no other treatment options open . Xxx

Hi Harleybear

Sorry to hear that you are feeling stressed about your oncology appointment tomorrow. It’s hardly surprising that you are feeling a little teary tonight you’ve been through so much.

Best of luck with your appointment tomorrow.

Sending you lot’s of love and hugs.

Thankyou Daisy , love this thread . Be glad when it’s over xxx

Hi harleybear, best of luck with your appt tomorrow. It's hardly surprising your feeling teary tonight, you have been through so much. What decisions have you made. Sending love and hugs xxx

Hi Shaz , I have decided I want to do the chemo but not the radiotherapy. I also want to discuss going on to Zometa after chemo has finished .  There are very few options for TNBC to keep it away and this is one that could help .  Things like tamoxifen , herceptin etc are not useful as the cancer has none of the receptors that respond to them .  Usually it is only chemo and surgery that are options but have been reading about zometa and some other ladies have been on it so worth a try .  How you doing Shaz ? You still upbeat aftet finishing chemo xxxx

Completely understandable that you feel teary and wobbly, Harley. All the very best for your appt tomorrow. I´ll be thinking of you and checking in here to see how you are. Lots of love xxx

P.S. Daft question alert but what is Zometa?

No question is ever daft in this thread . It is our safe space to learn and support each other . It is a drug otherwise known as zoldronic acid . It has been used in metastatic breast cancer and has also been shown to reduce the risk of recurrence in TNBC . I have been reading about it today . Xxx
