Dear MicheleR,
I had 5 weeks from Mastectomy to Chemo. Just how it worked out I think. Prior to the Mastectomy, I knew Chemo was in the plan. When my breast biopsy was done, they did a fine needle biopsy in my armpit, which was positive. Following surgery with axillary clearance, there were a total of 3 positive lymph nodes.
The Oncologist will give you a plan or options. Hopefully you will feel comfortable to ask as many questions as you can think of.
Write a list before you go.
I didn't question my plan, it seemed appropriate. But I sure did ask lots of questions. I hope you can take someone with you to the Oncologist.
All the best, keep in touch.
