Hi all,
Hope you're all ok :) I met the consultant today after weeks of scans, appointments and the usual dreaded waiting after being told I had breast cancer and lymph node involvement. Good news that the ct scan showed no spread anywhere else in my body. That has been my main worry so now I am concentrating on getting this horrible C bomb out of me!
The plan I was told a few wks ago was lumpectomy and then chemo but today he told me it has changed to chemo first and then mastectomy. I totally trust my breast team and am happy to do whatever he thinks is best for me, although it was a shock to hear I'll lose the whole breast but it's better than worrying about the tumours as he found more and quite large.
Not totally sure why I'm posting here but it's just to see if anyone else has had chemo first and how it all went. If truth be told, the thought of chemo scares the *** out of me :( But obviously I know it's going to help me!
What a long, strange road we all find ourselves on.
I'm 40 and healthy and happy! Hate how it just strikes any of us whenever it feels like it!
Anyway, thanks for listening to my big rambling message. Sending every single one of you strength and so much love!xx
