Hi Lyndajma
I was going to ask the same question, and literally stumbled on your post. I had my lumpectomy only a week ago and was told I need radiation, chemo and hormone therapies. I was led to believe I would hear from the oncology team this week but have since learned it is a waiting game and I am not a patient person. It will be our 40th wedding anniversary in July and we have planned a trip to Europe, to celebrate in Paris on the day. This, of course, was all arranged before I was diagnosed. So although my surgeon said it should be the last thing I need to be worrying about right now, I do worry, along with the thought that this aggressive b...... is going to take root again while we wait. So I think I know what you are feeling however, I have no words of wisdom for you. Perhaps we just need to trust the medicos to get it right.
I wish you all the best.
