A starting point.

Hi  jecca

I struggled , still am with the fact I was healthy after surgery. And now im not..I got diagnosed 22 dec 14. Im 45, same size as yours, I too found my tumor, I have had 1 dose of chemo TCH treatment 6 doses of chemo,18 doses herceptin, then radio..I had every side effect going and it was alot worse than I expected but I keep thinking this is killing any cells that has escaped. Only takes one cell to go somewhere else in the body to be in more trouble. I ended up in hospital with febrile neutrapenia for 3 days , this happened when I was meant to go back to work, but didn't work out that way, I have learnt to take one day at a time .I was affected for 10 days  by chemo.so next time I hope to work second half of the 3 week treatment..You may not be as affected as every one reacts differently. I am going to be more organized this time  by having bland soft meals in freezer ready to go.Lots of water , Lemon water on day 6 , no alcohol, healthy foods , immune boosting foods.

Im still  researching everything I can find to help get through this and I to hate the fact im putting poison in my body and I feel it go to every part of my body, but my new saying is im here for a long time not just a good time!
