@lorns glad to hear you are doing well. I’ve read your story and many others but have never posted my own. Yours reminds me of mine so much and your age is similar, I’m 48 but my treatment is the opposite of yours. I’ve already done the 6 months of ac/t chemo, t first which was much easier than ac, then surgery, mastectomy (8 weeks ago) and 20 lymph node’s which all came back completely clear. I had the port put in before chemo and now just waiting for 3 weeks of radiotherapy as mine too was in the middle of chest and neck area also.
I’m glad your daughters party went well I remember being right at the start of diagnosis at my daughters 7th birthday last year but had to pretend everything was normal as no one knew yet.
It’s tricky managing cuddles with the port and then the mastectomy, my daughter was always asking which side she could cuddle me on 😆. Thankfully now I can just about manage either side
i found the ac chemo the hardest of all this so far, nausea and headaches and just general fatigue but I found I felt good just in the week before I was due to go back for another round. Small meals often and salty foods seemed to help me, rest when you can which is easier said than done when you have kids
I hear you on the emergency/hospital stuff I was the same, never got sick, these surgeries were the first time in over 25 years I’d had surgery or even been in a hospital (apart from kids of course)
Best of luck with the rest of your treatment
