Dear Sharonb58,
Hang in there, it may not all be bad.
I'm here to say it is possible to do the lot with only some side effects.
Last year I had Mastectomy with axillary clearance (3 positive lymph nodes) Stage 2, Grade 3
Hormone sensitive breast cancer.
I then had EC x4, then Paclitaxol x 12, Radiotherapy 5 weeks and on Letrazole tablets now for 5-10 yrs.
I was very fortunate.
I also used the Cold Cap, and did not lose all of my hair, a little thinning.
Keep an open mind, ask lots of questions, repeat them if you need or forget.
Write questions down as you think of them.
Do you know which treatments you need yet?
All the best.
