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'm probably a bit late in responding to your post, as I guess you are now finished your chemo (yay!).
I was diagnosed in 2009, at age 37, with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) grade 3. I'm from Dalby, so I also had my treatment at St. Andrews in Toowoomba. I have 3 children - twin boys aged 13 and a daughter aged 9.
I also had FEC chemo regime + radiation (as I had a lumpectomy) + I'm on tamoxifen for 5 years.
I'm almost 3 years clear of cancer now, which is a great feeling, but my kids have some ongoing anxiety in relation to it - which is a great concern to me.
I hope you are recovering well and please post if there is anything you want to talk about.
Good luck to you!
