Really new
Hi everyone
My name is Karen. Im really new at this. Both being diagnosed with Breast Cancer and writing blogs.
My story is I was diagnosed on 28th October 2010. I have had a lumpectomy and L...
Hi Suemcivor My chemo has been delayed til Thursday the 23rd. I had an Infusa Port put in (under the skin, chest wall) last monday. The wound needed to be restiched on Tuesday as the stitches had fallen out. The port wound had not healed enough to start chemo, and the nurses could't find veins in my arm. I was slightly relieved about chemo being delayed as the doctor told me about all the terrible side effects that could happen. I think I cried all the way home, but al least I now have a week to try and get my mind round all this. While all this was going on the oncologist told me that I had a cyst on my liver and that I needed to have an ultrasound. Fortunately the ultrasound was negative. Well at least that is something less to worry about.. I was told about a clinical trial for tnbc when chemo is finished. I dont know the name of the drug but I think you take 1/2 tablet a day. I cant be sure about this. As I feel like I am walking around in a fog all the time and cant think straight.
