chemo
i am about to start my first session of chemo today i already went out and bought a wig so im ready for the hair loss im feeling really nervous about it they said they are giving me the strongest one...
Hey Heidi
Sorry to hear that you are having an absolute crap time right now and yes you have reason to be angry. I had a similar experience in that I was told all good and no further surgery required just 2 days before Xmas 2011 and then I went back after Xmas for post op appt when they all returned from their break to be told sorry but tumour was much bigger than originally thought, no proper clearance due to chest wall in the way and nodes were involved. You could have knocked me over with a feather and yep you better believe I was very very angry. But I got over it and decided I just need to get on with this and fight this bloody thing and I did.
i had 6 cycles of chemo and 7 weeks of rads.
You ask yourself how can they manage to tell you the wrong information. Were they looking at someone elses pathology?? I have no idea but yes I agree it sucks big time.
i am glad you have found us here on BCNA and I hope we can offer you help and support as you go through this crappy time.
Lots of love, Mich xoxo
