Feeling overwhelmed and anxious

Hi @LucyLou_71! Your treatment schedule is similar to mine. My diagnosis was Gr 3 Stage 1a E+ her2+. I had lumpectomy, SN biopsy and my MO wanted me to have a port put in before chemo started because he said with my schedule they would “run out of veins”. I am up for 3x3 weekly FEC then 9 x weekly Taxol with herceptin (17 x 3 weekly) starting the same time. Will also have 6 weeks of radiation and to top it off hormone therapy. He hasn’t mentioned using injections for herceptin though  Anyway I had the port put in the day before chemo started (had a little break booked before BC madness started and wasn’t going to miss it!) and it was fine just a little sore for a few days but no big deal really. I am happy I did it because my veins have not done too well with blood tests lately for the first time ever. I had first FEC 12 days ago and am doing well though dreading losing my hair in the next week. A little aside - the MO wrote my treatment as FEC-T and my son thinks it is so appropriate to say it with a strong  Irish accent.  I have to agree. 😂 Hope you don’t find the chemo too arduous! Good luck xx
