Roadblock to treatment
Currently I had grade 3 BC and stage 3, and supposedly starting my chemo this coming Monday 20 Jun. Since being diagnosed with BC on 2 May, it has been so many hurdles. When I finally had an right mastectomy and right axillary clearance on 19 May, the report came back my tumor is not 2cm as shown on ultrasound and it's actually 7cm and I have 3 out 20 axillary affected. And my PET scan shows suspicious activity. So Dr ordered liver mri and left breast biopsy to make sure they are just fibroadenoma. Both my liver scan and left breast report came back normal and I'm set to start my chemo on 20 Jun. But I had a dental check today and it shows that my wisdom tooth has decayed inside on the x-ray. Called my oncologist and he said he wants the wisdom tooth to be out first before chemo treatment hence my treatment is be delayed by another week. I feel so lousy and horribly worry that given my grade 3 stage 3 BC my treatment need to be postpone for another week. I have been having night sweats and tingling sensation or pin n needles on random parts of body. Went to GP, he told me that it's common for breast cancer patient to have night sweat! It felt that I have so many hurdles to go thru before my treatment start :( It's so hard to be strong. I'm so depressed that I can't even cry.
