Hi Deanne
I too was diagnosed early May with Grade 2 BC. I am 51, married and have 2 daughters 29 & 27. I had a Lumpectomy, followed a week later a further excision in the same wound. (Ah to be sure to be sure!) hadn't yet reached any nodes. Then I had a Port inserted a week later. I started 6 rounds of Chemo (FEC-D), 3 x FEC and 3 x D. I thought the FEC was bad, however I've just had my first round of D Chemo. Only one way to describe this as CRUEL. Wracked with pain from day 4, it's now day 6. Went to bed 5pm Friday and got out of bed 8am Monday (today). The pain has eased considerably, however still feeling sluggish. I will be up at Curramundi next week with a fellow BC friend if you would like to catch up. Looking forward to hearing from you. Belinda 0412612101
