Hi Terri
The info from the group definitely calmed the nerves and the day of treatment it's self went well. I think I was just in shock and panicking. I received the definite diagnosis on monday and was having my first chemo on Friday, I feel like my feet didn't touch the ground.
I was diagnosed with IBC stage 4 so have been told surgery is not an option. I am receiving treatment at Peninsula Private, Chemo is FEC and that's really all I know for now. Not even sure what I should be asking or what comes after this.
I have found the support and encouragement from this group very helpful. My husband died just over a year ago (cancer) and I only have my daughter who is wonderful but has a 17 month old son so I am trying not to put too much on her.
Thanks again to everyone in the group, I'm sure I will be seeking you advice as my journey continues.
Much love and thanks
Jules
