Just been diagnosed

Hi,

I was diagnosed with early breast cancer (DCIS) which was over a large area of the breast.  I had a total mastectomy in June. Lymph nodes were clear and the cancer was hormone +ve. They found a 3.5cm tumour in the removed breast, this the oncologist said necessitated preventative chemo which I started in July.  I have just had my 4th out of 6 treatments of FEC100.  While it is not a walk in the park I felt it was necessary in case any cancer cells had shed from the tumour.

Fatigue is the main bugbear along with losing my hair.  But everyone has told me that it will grow back curly and I had straight hair so I am looking on the bright side.

Hope this helps,

Jayne xx
