A Little Embarrassing
Hi I'm Matt A male with breast cancer, I came across this site a couple of days ago, I've been reading a lot of blogs and has been very helpful wish I found this before I started my treatment :-), ...
Sister said:Hi Matt, As everyone else has said - don't be embarrassed. I think you may be on the same chemo as me. I had 4 AC x 3 weekly and am now on Paclitaxol each week for 12 weeks (having No. 3 tomorrow). Interesting about the second toenails. I have the same thing but put it down to kicking a ladder (accidentally) for one and catching the other, lifting the nail, on a lounge chair. I do know that the AC can make you more susceptible to bruising so maybe it's just that those toes are in the firing line.
Hi All
thank you so much for the overwhelming response, SoldierCrab thankyou for all the information,
traveltex thankyou also when I was with the doctors a lot of information went over my head, I have rather a large lump/cancer on my right breast and affected most of my nodes, they called it invasive, aggressive and some other things,
its a stage 3 bordering 4 something like that, also its hormone based if that means anything, the plan is to do the chemo first to try and reduce the size of the cancer and the nodes so they can operate,
