Hi Sue,
I'm a newbie, recovering from mastectomy (didn't have clear margins after 2 earlier surgeries). Micromets in 2 of 5 lymph nodes. I'm seeing my medical oncologist on Tuesday to find out what's in store for chemo. I'm hormone receptor positive but HER neg. Radiotherapy appt for info, if that's after chemo, is later in the week too. I'm 48, with 2 teenage kids, and not looking forward to looking really sick in front of them.
After the surgeries, I was sleeping a lot better, but since the appts have been made to find out about chemo and radio, I'm having trouble sleeping again. It all seems so real.
Once I know what my chemo drugs are, I'll be posting a lot of questions to the wonderful women here.
Sorry if I have no answers to your questions, just wanted you to know that you're not alone.
