You poor love,no one should have to go through bc and chemo when they are about to give birth.It's supposed to be a joyous event and what alot your poor body had to go through leading up to and after it. I can't imagine how you coped with all that but we do don't we. There are lots of positives though- a beautiful baby girl,clear margins and clear lymph nodes(a good result in the cancer world!).What a bummer being back in hospital when your baby is at home.It sometimes seems that there is no light to be seen at the end of the dark tunnel you are in.It's normal to be anxious-you are in the thick of it. It can be overwhelming to think of all the treatment ahead so just "shelve it"and live in the here and now.I only allow myself to worry about something for 48hrs now and if I can't solve it then I put it on my mental shelf.I've had early breast cancer twice - 2003 and 2010.I'm fine now but it took me about 2 years each time to get my confidence back in my health.If breast cancer is caught early with no lymph node involvement then the odds are in your favour to live a long life.There are lots of us on this site who are doing well.Blog back here for info and support or to vent -I think it helps.You need support from family and friends but your pink sisters here truly understand your fears and the hard bc treatments. Hope you are home soon- sending hugs. Tonya xx
