I am scared ....
Hi all,
My name is Danka, I am 31 yrs old, mother of 2 cute kids. I have been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer 8/ 01/ 2015, grade 3, Her2+ , 19mm tumour and 2 of 3.5mm. I am not sure what s...
Hi Danka : welcome but sorry.....it's good you come to here the web, you will find lots of information, and could more prepared when sharing from other pink sisters.
The hardest part that I feel was "waiting", you were right, it happened and it already there. You are positive. But when waiting and don't know where to go is so hard, right?
I read other information, some of the ladies having chemo a week or 2 after surgery... I was waiting for 6-7 weeks, and also just right after surgery, I have to wait for the pathology report (just in Christmas and New Year time 2013/2014) so waiting waiting waitng.......But now if I think back, it's good to be apart between surgery and treatment, at least I could have more time recover from surgery before chemo.
Chemo, well sounds terrible, but it wasn't that really. Needle IV to vein is no good feeling for sure, but once it fixed, it's fine. Chemo feel heavy cold & flu.
I learnt a lot from here the ladies when sharing experience, so I put myself be positive and stay healthy. exercise is important during chemo. Plenty of fluid, water, or juice. It will knock you down couple days and back to normal like a cycle.
However I was thinking, even without cancer, I still have to take good care of myself. Don't you?
Please don't let "cance" fool you around. Stay positive, believe the technology nowadays. It really common now. I had 2 more herceptin to go, and now stay with Tamoxifen for 5 years (tablet) so I am the same as you HER+2.
Take care and good luck (hugginggggggggggg)
