I had my TNBC surgery in June the day before my birthday. I asked what's next and because I chose not to do chemo, the doctor said 'nothing' just a yearly mammogram on the other side. No ultrasounds, no MRI... nothing. So every little breathless day or or pain in a bone or whatever I worry if it has metastasized. But I have no one to ask. And I feel so completely alone. Everything I eat is just 'cancer fighting' foods. I started off exercising but now, I can't seem to care anymore.
I feel like I'm on borrowed time and I can't move past that. My kids (adults) have their own issues and I can't burden them. I don't even feel like I can come here anymore since I didn't do chemo...
Hi CJ W
I'm sorry to read that you feel alone now that your treatment has finished. Although you didn't have chemotherapy it doesn't mean that you can't speak to your BCNS about any worries you have.
Although I did have chemotherapy for my TNBC, like you I don't have any scans but know I can contact my BCNS if there's something that worries me.
I'm just coming to the end of 3 years of Zometa infusions so do see my oncologist once a year. I don't know if these appointments will stop once the infusions do.
Sending ((hugs)) your way.
