It has been a while since I have been on here. Firstly I would like to wish all ladies on here a very happy new year. Let's fight the fight!
My results are that I have a clear margin on the cancer that was removed from my breast. I had 23 nodes removed 1 was positive. So I need chemo, followed by radiotherapy then hormone therapy.
My brain has been crazy too as I have now met the person I would like have children with but now may have trouble conceiving as I will be 45ish by the time I will finish the tamoxifen. Have been to a fertility dr but the chances that I can conceive even if eggs are collected and the embryo's are frozen are very low due to my weight, the fact that I have been taking deparavera, and also my age.
At this stage we have made the decision not to go ahead with freezing the embryos. A very hard choice. Plus I would have had to go on more hormones to bring on ovulation.
Now just waiting my oncologist appointment to give me my schedule. I am hoping I can recover ok and fit it in with my work schedule.
My partner did not get the job he applied for which sux in a way but has also been good as I have not been given the clearance to drive yet.
Does anyone know if he could get a carers pension or something as he helps me from making meals to getting dressed and showering to driving me everywhere?
Also wondering what type of sickness benefits I would get if I can't work full time due to illness?
I hope everyone had a good Christmas and wish you all a great new year.
Thanks for reading - sorry it is very long xxxx
