One week in.
It is surpirisng how quick and also how long a week can feel at the same time.
I think that I am holding up ok considering but then I may just be in a denial phase?
The MRI on Thursday was a mess...
Ofcourse you can't think of babies right now but anything is possible.There is a young woman in my breast cancer support group in her early 30's and a year or so after her chemo,fell pregnant with her second baby.Mother and child doing really well a few years on now.Some women have eggs taken prior chemo just for safe measure- something to ask the doctor?I was 47 when I had my first bout of breast cancer and my girls were teenagers.I can only imagine the extra stress if I had to make "baby"decisions at the same time. My first bc was in 2003(lumpectomy,full node clearance and radiation)then it came back in the same spot in 2010(3cms) so had to have a mastectomy and chemo.Lucky me,twice on the bc ride! But each time it was caught early so I am fine- the majority of women are and go on to live long lives.You are at the scary,anxious bit but once you have a plan in place your heart will stop racing.We are here to help you through so ask any questions or just vent,rave,ramble-it all helps.Sending hugs,Tonya xx
