Grade 3 breast cancer
Hi there lovely ladies, I have just finished all my treatment, yay!!! 6rounds of chemo and 6 weeks of R/T. I was feeling really great that it was all behind me and excited to move on in life. How...
Hi Maria, haven't had a chance to reply to your post until today. Like all of us the first few weeks/ months can all be a bit of a blur and full of fear, and we start to imagine all sorts of things. However time, and as your treatment progresses things will get easier. I have since spoken to Onc. about cancer grade, (3) it is only one part of the package with breast cancer and apparently responds 'really' well to chemo. As my surgeon said breast cancer is treatable and most women survive, if anything she said it is going to be an inconvience! So you just have to try and take a step at a time, that's what I did, and as each step finished I just tried to make it through to the next one. I had 6 rounds of chemo 3 fec and 3 dox, and 5 weeks of radiotherapy. At the begining I thought it seemed like an eternity way, but it actually went fast and here I am all finished and looking forward to living my life. Ask your doctors any fears or questions you may have, they are there to support and guide you. I was afraid of chemo but once I started I just said to myself, this is my medicine to make me better and that helped. You will get there, your arm is a bump on the road, and it's great news your cancer doesn't seem to have spread and contained to your breast, so that's a good thing. If you ever need to talk we are always here. Sending you lots of hugs. xxxx
