Hi
l had a lumpectomy on 7 Oct 15 to remove 22mm tumour and 8 lymph nodes- (3 had cancer).
l am doing 6 cycles of chemo - 3 x FEC & 3 x Docetaxol over 18 weeks, and then 6 weeks radiation.
My surgeon was very good and so is my oncologist.
Had my first chemo on 10 Nov, and while first few days were a bit tiring, feeling good now and ready for next cycle on 1 Dec.
I feared the surgery and chemo but so far so good, heaps better than I had expected. So from now on l will leave fear behind me.
also make sure you book in for the feel good look better workshop. I went last week and it was so much fun.
God luck and all the best with your treatment.
