One word - terrified

Sorry to hear you have to have more treatment.This often happens with this crap bc journey - the goal posts get moved on you.But welcome to this network where you'll get lots of info and support. I've had breast cancer twice.The first time was in 2003 and I had a lumpectomy,full node clearance and radiation.It came back 7 years later(2010) in the same spot so had to have a mastectomy and chemo and then Tamoxifen for 5 years.I was horrified about chemo and losing my hair.I found it hard going but some women breeze through it.We are all different and get prescribed different chemo combinations.My advice to you would be to stay very busy until Wednesday -you know,sort out cupboards etc. Perhaps write down all the questions you want to ask your oncologist.ie what chemo combination would be used and why and what side effects, how often will you have it etc. If you haven't been to the dentist in awhile,think about a checkup before chemo but ask your doctor about that.It's easy to get an infection when you are on chemo.I didn't work whilst having chemo and I'm glad I didn't. No doubt other ladies will jump on here and add some helpful advice too. It's scary but once you have a plan next Wednesday,you'll feel more in control. We all help each other here so ask any questions or blog to vent your fears and frustrations-it all helps.And your pink sisters truly understand.
