Welcome and sorry to hear that you have breast cancer. And doubly sorry that you have this while pregnant.
Great to hear that your mastectomy went well last week and that you are feeling good.
I contracted BC back in March 2012, I had a lumpectomy and had 20/20 lymph nodes removed, to which all were cancerous. I have just finished chemo, had 3 FEC and 9 Taxol. I am now waiting to start radiation on 25 September. I have 30 sessions.
It must be very hard to comprehend that you have BC and also pregnant. But good on you for taking the steps to have a mastectomy and keep your baby.
Great to also hear that baby is doing great. But you must remember to have treatment what is needed to make you better, so you can be around for all the loved ones around you. You want to see both your step daughter and new baby grow up. And also grow old with your husband.
When I was diagnosed, i would have done anything that was required to stay alive. If I needed to have a mastectomy I would have. Please try not to worry, the doctors, specialists and nurses are there to help you with the treatment plan. Just ask lots of questions.
Life is too precious. Hope all goes well and please keep us posted.
