Lump found 1 month ago now removal of breast
I thought to be honest it was a cyst,,, then during the biopsy the head nurse said 'no take 2 more samples' Now i am up for a body scan to check and see if there are other spots on my lower back........
I'm sorry you have had to join this group. It's such a shock in the beginning. It's possible to have your reconstruction done or at least started at time of first surgery. You may need follow up adjustments but it doesn't mean you will no longer be curvy.
Some women are able to work during chemo maybe not the 1st week but weeks 3 and 4. It just depends. I was able to access my life insurance under a trauma claim which really helped me. If no income you would be entitled to sickness benefits or at least newstart allowance, which is better than nothing.
Yep...the hairloss is hard going, I rocked the scarf and hats but there are some good wigs and some fun wigs which should get you through.
We are here to help with what we can. And yes its so hard on those that love us. Take care. Kath x
