Hi Gemini
I am now in a similar boat.
Saw oncologist yesterday.
I have the rest of my lymph nodes out on Monday. If more nodes found to have cancer cells , then scans.
On the 29th of July I start 5 months chemo.
A break then radiotherapy. Then hormone tablets.
I am lying here thinking have I done the right thing saying yes. I think it's just fear of the unknown. I always said I would never have chemo. It's so different when you are affected by this hideous disease.
Anyway I am usually pretty positive. My calm place is the sea, even though it's cold at porties. It's my happy place. I was back in as soon as I could after surgery plus swimming is the best for moving arms. Plus my head.
@boy boy good luck with results. I saw a previous post of yours about exercise,totally agree so much research into exercise when going on this journey.
Funny I asked my hubby how will he be looking at me if I lose my hair. Well he doesn't have much anyway, boy did we laugh. Mind you I will go for the shaved look and rock those hats.
Might try and close my eyes before our cocker spaniel bounds in.
Take care guys...
