Hello
I've just been diagnosed with invasive ductal cancer grade 3 triple negative I'm so scared is anyone going through the same?
Hi Diana, hope you are keeping well, I'm awake again 3am! My Seromas gone now I didn't have mine drained they gave me no encouragement to do that at the time I wish I had pushed a bit more. The cording not too bad now almost resolved. It's my scar and tight chest that is causing me the most pain.
I getting so worried about all the toxicity of this chemotherapy I'm going to have to chat to them at next clinic appointment. I want antibiotics to keep at home just in case worried to death about sepsis. The hospitals are overwhelmed with all this covid I can't see how I would be treated within the hour if I had an infection as the protocol suggests? It just won't happen. You are so right after the next one half way through. It's a difficult time for all of us
Take care

Hi
You're not alone here...me too!
May I ask did you have your op before starting chemo?
I am having two minds now...initially was meant to start chemo but two nights ago I could feel the lump shift. So I just want the lump out out now. The fear is really eating away at me. And I feel I can better cope if its out of my body!
How you feeling now...? Sepsis is so bl00dy worrying, not like you need more on your plate! I feel so much for you with the sleepless nights too. Hope u aren't in pain?

Hey such a rollercoaster ride huh?
Did you have mastectomy...I am wondering how I will cope afterwards with the new me!
I have asked to see my breast consultant next week again to work the brain fog out for what I should do next! Had chemo lined up but have had a change of heart to go with op first now! It's all so confusing and impacting my sleep due to decision making!
Remember you are doing so well, and feeling so positive...you can beat this hands down. So happy you're having a good/strong day! Keep doing what you're doing...as its clearly working!
