Starting Chemo in two weeks
Hi Everyone,
I go into hospital tomorrow to remove a triple negative tumor and lymph nodes in my right breast. Very devastated as I thought I had this.
In Feb 2015 I had a double Mastectomy due to large amount of DCIS on right side. At that time I thought I was being a bit drastic but I just wanted it gone. After 2 weeks in hospital I ended up with a blood clot in my right calf and the next 6 months were stockings and tablets, lucky it was during winter.
In July 15 I had my spacers out and implants in . 4 weeks later I got an infection in my left breast and had to have the implant removed on a Monday night and a new implant back in 4 days later.
March 2016 i found a lump in my right breast at 6 o'clock. I had it removed and it turned out to be Estogen + and since then I have been on Anastrozole.
Because of my paranoia, I scheduled regular 3 monthly ultrasounds. In June the report came back that one of my lymph nodes was a little enlarged and to monitor it.
3 months later in September I had another ultrasound and another lump was found , this time triple negative!
I am having surgery tomorrow and then onto chemo in a couple of weeks and probably radiation after that. I think it depends on the results of the pathology after surgery. I think my Chemo start off with 1 treatment every 3 weeks for 6 to 8 treatments then I don't know what from there.
I cannot believe all this has happened.
i have been a member since 2015 but I never really went on the site, I have been busy getting fit, trying to counteract my bones getting weaker from the drugs i'm taking and trying very hard to be good and maybe wanting to forget everything, but from now on I'm in and
I will be a regular viewer as i really do need information and support now.
I have read some stories tonight and have been enlightened to what is ahead of me.
thank you
