Hi tess, I have found the waiting as most people do, the hardest part on this BC journey. Sorry to hear about your infection post surgery. I had my surgery nearly 5 weeks ago for DCIS grade 2. Oestrogen Postive, and HER2 negative. My oncologist is waiting for a report from the hematology doctors before he tells me what my treatment plan is. Hopefully next week. I seem to have a problem with my bloods all of a sudden. I also have lymphodema on my left breast since the surgery which complicates things too, so I am really fraustrated at the moment. So sometimes you feel like you get diagnosed for one thing and then other problems creep up. So annoying !!!
This site has been fantastic and the support from the other ladies has been incredible. Many have helped me through the last 5 weeks especially with their words of encouragement especially with the hiccups that I have been having lately regarding my treatment.
Wishing you all the very best with your treatment and look after yourself.
Ronnie xx
