My journey is going to be a long one.
I have spoken to onco and he has put a few things in place. Before I start treatment he wanted a full body scan, that scared the daylights out of me. I was worried they would find it elsewhere. That result can be according to the surgeon all ok.. What a relief. Then I need to have a port put in, that has already been done. I see the onco on Monday to discuss the treatment plan and the type of cancer it was. The suggested treatment is 2 chemo's, 3 weeks apart for 4 cycles, then single chemo for 12 weeks, then more surgery, then radiotherapy. I will also have a further injection for 12 months(not sure what it is yet) and I will have medication for 10 years. I am pretty anxious about it all but I just have to go with the flow. The onco scares me because he might tell me something I don't want to hear. I just need to remind myself this is just another hurdle I need to jump over. Is it advisable to have someone take you to your treatment and how long can it take.
I look forward to some tips.
