New diagnosis

@Lynetteewart I dreaded chemo. I'd not shed any tears in the 2.5 months between diagnosis and start of chemo, but on the morning of my first chemo I sobbed for 15 mins. I was so apprehensive. And I had a few tears during the first administration, with my daughter holding my hand. And I'm usually a tough old chook. Diagnosed at 74, now 76. But I got through it. I rocked the "Simone de Beauvoir" look with my turbans. My oncologist proposed stopping chemo after 20 weeks of the planned 24, because I had severe peripheral neuropathy and she said it could become permanent if I continued. I agreed. The PN gradually faded and is now gone. I also had 25 days of radiation. As others have said, everyone's treatment is different and we have a say in it. We need to ask the questions we need answers and be comfortable with plans. I needed to self-advocate quite a lot to get what I wanted, at times. I chose to stop taking the hormone tablets. I recently had revision surgery and am now feeling comfortable. For the first time 21 months, I'm now feeling very well and positive.
All the best for what lies ahead.
