Thanks ladies. Helpful. I am at Austin in Melbourne and nagged sufficiently this morning such that I now have oncol and rads specialist appointments confirmed for next Wednesday. And I will do my best to go in with an open mind per advice of my new liaison nurse who arranged it for me... also so lucky to have this forum for advice and the comfort of knowing that there are other souls out there struggling with similar issues and getting through it. Pre bc I had no idea and obviously life before seems some distant fantasy land where everything was awesome but bogged down by everyday stresses I had no idea at all how awesome it really was. I feel silly and embarrassed these days about my past whinges or perceived stresses now that I am faced with some very real issues.
For those who have had chemo how did it go? I am a bit more prone to nausea in general life I.e. motion sickness, one too many wines (in the past..), childbirth, fentanyl after my recent mx, have all at some point made me vomit continuously to the point of dehydration...so the thought of chemo and potentially suffering from that for months (along with any other side effects) is terrifying. I have 3 children so putting them through months of a sick Mum is a concern too when I am so used to being the carer for my family. And finally very superficially and vanity wise I don’t want to age myself 10 years which I have seen happen to a couple of family members who have been through it..I know ultimately all that is better than dead but it is still a scary decision..
