New to blogging, new to breast cancer
Hi,
I'm Leanne 44 yrs and was diagnosed with breast cancer on March 1. Had my lumpectomy on March 7. Within the next 5 weeks I will commence Chemo & Herceptin treatment. To say it's been a whirlwin...
Hi Leanne
Just wanted to say Hi, the others have given you good advice. I know in your head you see chemo patients as bald old women that lay in bed sick. Some days are like that, but after the first week you can go back to doing most of the things you did before. My kids were 2 and 4 when I was diagnosed so I still did shopping, took them to school, parties, out to dinner etc. I was tired and "off" a lot of the time and needed a nanna nap most days but I also kept things normal.
Anyway, good luck and ask many questions. Not sure if the others have said this one? It's not pretty but have some coloxyl on hand for constipation is a must too.
