Hi Lizzy
I wish you a speedy recovery from what you are going through and hope when you come home from hospital you will be feeling so much better than when you went in.
I am awaiting the outcome of my second surgery where I had a total axillary clearance at my post op appt on 31/1/12. I have already been told I will have 6 months of chemo and then radiotherapy to follow. I am also scared but i feel if we want to beat this thing then we have to continue on this journey that the experts recommend. I do agree though that you have every right to ask questions and be fully aware of what is the best things to help alleviate any symptoms you are having.
I wish you luck and hope to stay in contact and hope I can help you on your journey along with all these other lovely ladies who have been through it or going or about to go through it.
