Dear @AmandaDion
What you are worrying about is pretty common - I realised when first diagnosed that I was overdue a Pap smear, so immediately thought something more might be wrong there too! It wasn’t.
Blood tests and other checks will occur, often regularly, and these will help allay your concerns.
If chemo is recommended, and it may not, with clear lymph nodes, it’s a general sweeper out of lingering cancer cells and while a bit of a blunt weapon, it does a whole body job!
It would be good however if your medical team can provide any advice on your general state of health. While BC may not commonly start with any overall feelings of ill health, people are different, cancers are different and reactions to body changes and treatment can be very different too.
You are on your way to a treatment plan and that’s usually very reassuring. Ask as many questions as you need to, good information is critical to feeling positive and working cooperatively with your medical team.
Best wishes.
