5 weeks of hell!!
Been diagnosed for 5 weeks now... wow what a whirlwind!!. Now they tell me Its my decision if or when to start treatment... Im in no stste of mind to be making decisions like that. I dont have time...
Hi Joro,
I hear what you are saying about decisions.
For me my first knee jerk reaction and solution, was to have both breasts off immediately (this was before speaking to the surgeon). Then, changed my mind, after hearing the recommendation of the surgeon to rather go Lumpectomy & Sentinel Node 'cos it was small with poss chemo and radiation afterwards. I am now on day 13 of my first of six chemo treatments (3xFEC100 and 3xTaxotere). I too figured that the experts should know more than me with all their experience and expertise. Am I happy with my decision, yes I am.
I pray that as you talk about your diagnosis, read about it, and listen to the experts your decisions will be easier to make.
All the best, Ann
