Breast cancer
Hi my name is Sarah, 54yrs old and just learnt I have stage 3 breast cancer with more to come. I live in Mandurah WA but happy to chat with others anywhere. I had the news a few days ago and more tes...
Hello Jessica
Royal Perth Mondays.........next one round 2 March 17th. I am doing TCH but round 2 I start on the Herceptin as well. I am also recovering from a broken humerus done Oct25 so my sleep went out the window then and it's been a long haul. Yesterday I was so miserable that I said to my self I am not doing round 2 but I guess I will and even say 'thank-you" that's life! I know I have had very mild effects which worries the hell out of me as I know next round is going to be far worse and I have only just coped. I just feel YUK, depressed and not my self. The lack of sleep is the worst, lack of taste and your throat and mouth feeling like the bottom of a parrots cage that needs cleaning. No energy although that has not been too bad and I still do many hours of cooking and ironing general housework and the jobs nobody else see's. I have a full house at the moment with 3 adult children and one grandchild 3yrs. It's hectic and I find it very irratating with all the noise and moverment. I sound ungrateful and I probably am but I hate feeling like this infront of my children. I feel paranoid as well that they are all talking about me, I cannot string good sentences together and hopeless at number sequence so my passwords are all up the creek. Please let me know your symptons and how you are copying. I am hopeful you are in Perth too as it would be great to be friends as we are so close in treatment. Have a good weekend
Sarah
