Hi BCNA community, Today is exactly two months since 14 June 2018, the day I found the lump in my right breast that changed everything. I thought it was as good a reason as any to introduce myself...
@Emim welcome to the group. I was diagnosed end of January this year and had 3 surgeries in total that ended with a single mastectomy with auxiliary lymph node removal. CT scan and nodes all clear. I had 4 rounds of TC and managed to work somewhat in my busy and physical job as a vet nurse. I also had the white blood cell injections and never got sick. I had my infusion on a Monday, would work Tuesday and Wednesday (apart from the last cycle where I had the Tuesday off) and then I would be off work from Tuesday through till Wednesday the following week. After that I would work normally u til the next infusion. I found work really helped to give me a sense of normality and take my mind off the whole BC thing but everyone is different in their reaction to it so u have to do what if best for u. My fur nurse was invaluable during all this - when I was home after chemo she would t leave my side and laid in bed with me all day. I almost think she doesn’t like the fact I am back to work now. :D. I’m also on tamoxifen now for the next 5-10 years and a month I’m apart from major sleep disturbances I seem to be going ok. Xoxoxoo
