Chemo/radiation
Hi. I am new to the site. I was diagnosed 21 june. Had lumpectomy and some lymph node removal on 24 july. Just got pathology results. All clear nodes. Clear margin. Grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma. ...
@Di1965 Physically I am healed, though I don't feel my hands have come back to full strength. They were very affected by the chemo. I am on Letrozole and have numerous side effects from that, and then there's the brutal medical menopause... Emotionally, survivorship is proving to be hard, but I recognise that a lot of other baggage has come with me. I'm trying really hard to do all the things that are suggested to help. And then some! I don't feel like me anymore. I suppose that's what's meant by 'new normal', so I'm working on acceptance. K xox
