Hi everyone
got my appointment today with oncologist to see what the plan is going forward - had two post op flot now - absolutely knocked me for six both times with side effects. Neuropathy in hands and feet still not subsided, sickness was unbearable, cold and hot shivers and complete exhaustion. Not sure my body can take anymore of it. Feels like I’m between a rock and a hard place in making the right decision. Far to many what if questions circling round my head.
advice please is so very much needed

Hi Jules good to hear from you ! I had a long conversation with Dr Falk the oncologist and we decided that I wouldn’t have post op chemo as the histology had shown no cancer cells ! I am relieved but hope I’ve made the right decision ( he thought I had ) have a scan in October so we shall see !!
sending my love try not to get too stressed although it must be hard when you’ve been through so much xxxx

you hang in there missus, everyone says the treatment is worse than the op, and the recovery is brutal, i get so anxious post op for the appointments, and results, dont get me started on the vein issue as they cant use my right arm, this lovely family will be able to give you advice and reassurance sarah, i am going through immunotherapy once a month, just found out i will be back under the breast cancer oncologist again (the one who ignored my weight loss symptons, eating issues, put it down to the effects of radiotherapy!!, thank god gp stepped up) cant wait for THAT meeting in june, just keep us update on how you are getting on, others have had tips on how to deal with the awful feelings in hand and feet.
you take care, and as we all know in this family, its one day at a time, no handbook for this little so and so xx

That’s great news Jules ! One less thing to have to think about !! Feels surreal that I won’t be having chemo !! And doubts are creeping in but it was a unanimous decision at the end of the day he said he would tell me if he thought I was making the wrong decision !!
