Post surgery, pre radio
This is my first entry here. I was diagnosed with BC in October 2015 - yes, Breast Cancer Awareness month :) Lots of pink around to make me feel like I'm certainly not alone. I'm yet to read entries ...
Hi Rosetta
welcome to the forum but sorry you have had to join us.
i had a lumpectomy, 6 months TCH chemo, 33 radio therapy sessions and 12 months herceptin. I am 6 months post treatment now. I worked part time throughout my whole treatment. Chemo was the hardest and I look back now and wonder how I did it as chemo made me very ill. Generally the first week after chemo was a complete write off and then I would work Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so I could have a break in between. Like you financially, I had no choice. It definitely takes it out of you and you have to make sure that you rest when you need to. There were times I just had to go home and sleep. Take each day one at a time. Good luck. Karen xox
