I do not know, but having read your post, it sounds like you are yet to receive a treatment plan. That sounds frustrating and very upsetting, and I hope that you soon get a better idea of what to expect. It is no wonder that you feel that fear has engulfed you...I imagine that once there is a plan and your team have communicated with you about what to expect, you may feel a bit better.
I certainly hope so.
You sound very brave.
I had a lumpectomy followed by chemotherapy and will be starting radiation therapy soon followed by 5-7 years of hormone blockers).
You have had a huge surgery yet you sound very positive. I hope that your path gets easier. Yes. This is a place that no one wants to be.
Kind Regards,
Anni
Thank you Christina and Anni,
Anni, you were correct. When I posted I was in a bit of a state but as I get closer to having a treatment plan in place I am now calmer and less fearful. Knowing that you have a treatment plan similar to what I think I will be offered, makes me feel better. I was worried that, based on a discussion with my surgeon, that not enough treatment was going to be offered to me but this was foolish and a result of my irrational fear (and too much googling 😳).
Unfortunately my husband’s prostate biopsy was not good and so he will be having surgery in a couple of weeks. I now have to concentrate on supporting him so I hope that the bravery you referred to is still there.
Thank you both for replying.
