Fec chemo
I found a 3.5 cm lump just before Xmas then had a lumpectomy but the margins weren't clear so had my left breast removed a week before Xmas no lymph nodes were affected and I start fec chemo on the 2n...
Hi, I found 2 lumps in my breast last year and had them, as well as axillary nodes, removed just before Christmas. 3/25 nodes were positive so I am having the whole kit and kaboodle too. Chemo FEC started 30th Jan. I am 31 and have a 1 year old and found the 1st few days after chemo really hard going. Trying to look after her, but just feeling like lying down on the spot or feeling too nauseas to do anything.
Unfortunately they also found some small spots in my rib and sternum. I am praying (not that I normally do that) that the chemo is going to work. I am struggling to come to terms with the treatments and possibility of not having any more children.
I too would like to keep in contact about how you are managing with the FEC and family life while we go through this
