Hi Jazz, I have just been through what you are. The timeline is very similar to mine, i had to wait 5 weeks post lumpectomy and a week for the oncologist appointment. I have to have 4 rounds of chemo, herceptin and hormone treatment, although my margins and lymph nodes were clear i had micro calcification's around the initial tumor. I had my first round of chemo on the 3rd of November and i was pretty crook from it. The day after treatment i slept all day, i can only describe it as the worse hangover you have ever had and it lasts a week.I only had two days off work but i think i could have done it if i had of pushed myself. Day six was yesterday and i felt fantastic and i have felt the same today. My head is getting really itchy and has developed little sores all over my scalp so i'm guessing i will lose my hair pretty soon. Next dose of chemo is on the 24th of November so fingers crossed it's not too bad. Good luck with your journey, Rach xx
