Thank you everyone for your kind words and support. Ive had a few appointments/procedures/discussed diagnosis. I’m stage 3 Triple Negative metastatic breast cancer (contain to lymph nodes) 3.5 & 4cm tumours in left breast/lymph nodes. I met with my Surgeon Dr Allen Thursday 31/10/19 and had a chemo port inserted Tuesday 5/11/19. I met with my Oncologist Dr Milliard yesterday 11/11/19, I’d had a lot of shoulder pain since the surgery and have had to stay in hospital overnight last night due to blood clots in my shoulder from the chemo port surgery (extremely painful and my arm was turning purple/blue 😖 ).
I think they’re removing the port today due to the blood clots ☹️ Not off to the best start but I’m still staying positive ☺️
The plan seems to be chemo, surgery then radiation. I believe I’ll receive my first chemo treatment this week just through an IV. Then once a fortnight for two months to see how my tumours are responding before surgery.
I’ve been given the information on the chemo treatment, still need to digest/read it. I’ve had two doses of blood thinners and my arm/shoulder is beginning to feel 80% better. Just thought I’d share an update 💞
Much love to all you amazing strong women on here. I was curious about support group meet ups? Do any of you ladies know of any in Brisbane?
