Hi there
Unfortunately we would like it to get on with the treatment, get another scan and find that it all worked, but I think our bodies need time to heal. Hopefully you trust your medical team, I didn't start tamoxifen until this month after chemo and radiation and my lumpectomy was June last year.
I still don't ask enough questions, write them all down and ask the oncologist when you see him next. Hopefully he will give you answers so you can concentrate on the treatment and not worry so much. In the meantime, could you contact the breast care nurse - they usually have so much knowledge.
All the best, Kari
