Sorry for the doom & gloom because I should be feeling good after just finishing my last chemo session, but I could cry! I have to have 5 sessions of RT and then Tamoxifen, I have just seen my consultant to arrange RT and because of my type and stage of breast cancer he has recommended that I also consider taking Abemaciclib alongside Tamoxifen, it was when he said your at higher risk of reoccurrence that it hit me like I brick, I have had a single mastectomy, full axillary node clearance and 6 rounds of chemo, I know there is always a risk but to hear it after finishing such a gruelling treatment was hard, I feel so deflated, I have to read up now on this new treatment and decide, I was hoping to try and switch off a bit which is probably impossible, is it normal to feel like this?? I feel like I’ve just taken 10 steps back even though I haven’t x
I love that you had a word... I do that too
. My partner takes heart meds and he says the same...what's the difference to cancer meds and heart ones... its just our perspective. Let's think positive and do this xx
