Hi Rachel and welcome. It's lots to take in at first and overwhelming. It does get better though. I was diagnosed end of January this year with er+ve invasive ductal carcinoma stage 3a grade 2 breast cancer. I did chemo first in the hope to shrink my tumor to have lumpectomy. For me I had no response to chemo so had mastectomy in August and all lymph nodes taken. As afraser said there are so many variables when it comes to chemo and it's side effects. Mostly I had fatigue and still do but no nausea at all. It's doable but sucks. I'm now just started radiation . It's a long road but everyone here is fantastic. One day at a time. All the best.
