Terrified

Dear Lisa O I am so sorry you had the loss of your mother to deal with as well as the blow of battling breast cancer- l know this sounds strange but look on the fact that you were spot on in finding out now about your diagnosis - . It is a frightening thing to face- and somehow all of us find that determination to deal with it. I am not saying it's a walk in the park- far from it but you have to take time for yourself to fight this- your family and friends will support you as much as they can- the support staff at the Oncology Department will do all they can to inform you as to what to expect- everyone is different with their particular diagnosis and treatment so only you will know how your body will react to the specific treatment when it begins. I hope and pray your journey will as best it can be for you.I had my diagnosis  a month before my hubby and l were due to go on a round Australia Cruise - so that stopped that- I had a lumpectomy - 3cm Stage 2 as well as Auxiliary node clearance 2 nodes Grade 3  Hormone Pos and Her Negative I am up to Round 3 of Chemo from an 8 cycle- then Radiation to follow - l don't want to scare you with my tale as everyone is different- but my Oncologist recommended l have my Chemo reduced by 20% as l didn't tolerate it that well. But that's me- you might be different- Anyway l wish you all the love and courage to you and your family Lisa ❤️
