Post lumpectomy two week visit with surgeon to discuss chemo, rad and hormone treatment
Hi, I am not sure if I should go in with a pile of questions or just sit and listen and then go home and do some research? Was there anything in particular people thought was an important question to ...
Yes, I think for me the surgery was the the Big Thing. I've sort of assumed I will have chemo as the surgeon said so but what sort I'm yet to find out. I know it can be bad. It's a shame we can go into an induced coma for a month and come out fixed! My main worries I need to tell the surgeon or chemo person are re-gaining the IBS/pancreatic insufficiency I suffered from last year and left me in Depends until I found a solution and haven't had a recurrence. I would prefer to throw up than go through that humiliating horrible time again! Plus I need to check my depression meds are okay with the rest. The psych said some are incompatible with chemo. I'm having no trouble with depression now after we finally sorted my meds last year, so hope I can stay on them. My mood is pretty good ... always makes me suspicious lol! I seem more 'in the moment' mostly, and enjoying small pleasures. ☺
