Out of the blue!!
Hi everyone I'm 60 and very recently been diagnosed with TNBC stage 2, routine screening. Everything is happening so quickly!!!
Biopsy 5th Oct, results 14th. High contrast mammogram 16th, PET scan 21st Oct.
I saw my breast surgeon on 28th, Cancer hasn't spread, small tumor and one lymph node. Then 30th I saw medical oncologist, discussed chemo and immunotherapy, side effects everything. Prognosis is positive, surgery after Chemo, dependant on Brca blood tests, then radiotherapy.
Im still in shock, it's a lot to take in!! I have good days then bad. I feel numb, sad, angry and sorry for myself, is that normal?
My chemo should start in the next few weeks. I'm worried about how I'll cope. My husband broke his leg in August, so he can't drive, he's on crutches, I'm his carer!
What should I expect from the chemo? Can I drive, can I still work?
I apologise for all the questions, thanks in advance x
