Awaiting bone scan results...
Hi there,
I feel a little like I've been on a roller coaster and not a very fun one!
I've been reading a lot of posts and feeling overwhelmed at times, also realising no two people have the same experience.

I was diagnosed 3 Feb and had lumpectomies /partial mastectomy, (both boobs,) surgery on March 21, with sentinel node biopsies.
Got the surgical report on Tuesday and it was not what we'd hoped for, they found cancer in the sentinel nodes, and so it now means chemo and a different treatment plan. 😬
Had the bone scans and CT on Friday, and then I meet the oncologist on Tuesday for the first time to talk about the results and options.
At this stage they're talking about 3 months of TC chemo, after the surgery wounds have healed.
I'll hopefully know more on Tuesday.🤞
I was hoping to be able to continue to work through the treatment but is this completely unrealistic?
Unfortunately I don't have sick pay as I work on a casual basis. (Full time)
I teach adults at a school in the city, and also take the tram , which I know isn't great for avoiding germs with lowered immunity.
What else have you done to boost your immune system?
Does anyone have experience of receiving chemo at St Vincent's Hospital (public)?
Sorry about the long post!
Thank you
