Dear @Chipo ,
I too have had chemo, radiation and hormone therapy after a lumpectomy.
Positives:
*fantastic staff at chemo unit, even more fantastic breast care nurse,
*this network for information,laughs and support,
*finishing each stage of treatment,
*support from family and friends.
As other network members have said above, everyone is different in their reactions and experience. I found the booklet 'guide for women with early breast cancer' very helpful at the beginning. But I did not think ahead too much. It was good to have the info when I needed it. Write down your questions for your doctors, clinic staff and breast care nurse. Do not worry or suffer in silence!
Best wishes from jennyss in Western NSW
