Hi Mel,
Sorry it has taken me so long to reply (in fact read my messages), I think it is probably is a sort of denial as at the monent I just feel that I am only recovery from the surgery, radiation therapy .. every day for six weeks, great ... doesn't start for another month or so and I haven't seen the oncologist etc. yet, I don't have to start thinking to heavily about whats to come. 3/19 lymph nodes were affected - thank goodness they were removed at the same time as the mastectony.
I am starting to climb the walls here, my daughter and a couple of friends have taken me out but it's not the same as just getting in the car and driving to where ever you feel like going!
How are you coping with the chemo ... any nasty side effects? will there be a break before you start the radiation? My cancer is positive to hormone receptors - so my surgeon said it will be a three pronged attack but as I said I am still waiting on the details'.
"Bring on the radiation" .. what a great outlook you have, I only hope I will be able to follow your example.
Take care, I hope you are feeling OK.
love CArole
