Some practical knowledge- just how sick?
Hi ladies
I am newly diagnosed with locally advanced BC and am hoping to get a general idea of how sick chemo and the mastectomy will possibly make me. I have a 2 and 3 year old. Single mum of active ...
I found that after my surgery I was sore and guess that picking up small children would be difficult. Also through my chemo I seemed to have every side effect and there were days the fatigue meant I couldn't lift my head off the pillow.
Finally radiation the burns make that area very sore, there were 2 mothers of small children that said they couldn't cuddle the babies through that time.
We are all different and how our bodies react is different so its very difficult to judge. I would suggest that you accept all the assistance you are offered along your journey.
I understand you are coming along on Sunday, I am looking forward to meeting you.
cheers
Donna
