Radiotherapy lungs
Hi it's sooky Fran again....ha ha,
I have had chest xrays recently because I have had a lot of pain four years down the track and still in pain. Anyway no cancer but my right lung is partly collaps...
Hi girls, Yes I hear what you say but what other choices do we have. I think in another lifetime they (professionals and I suppose us) will look back and say "You had what and they did what - how barbaric". I have just finished chemo today and I never want any more treatment. I will probably have to go back on Arimidex once I see the Medical Oncologist on 23rd June - not looking forward to that!!! It is sh..... - I can't even have a cup of tea at night time as it makes me ill. I have a month to "ride the tide" and then I start "living again". I think I have done my penance with BC and don't want to have it in my health chart again. A little voice keeps says "don't forget the first surgeon (now retired) said that you were at high risk of the bc returning in the other breast". Shit I have got to turn that little sucker voice OFF. I live with pain in my radiated arm every minute of every day and still find it difficult to do much with it. I know it is early days yet and the chemo finds the vunerable parts so this adds to it. At this stage I am so grateful that there is little lymphodema and hope it stays that way. I look forward to being able to have my maintenance lymphatic drainage massages again once chemo is out of my system. I also look forward to regaining some strength so that I can get some fitness back. I know from last time it took about 3 years to feel close to being back pre BC fit. So it really is a sooky day and outside is so cold and bleak here and apparently it is going to get colder -coming from down south. Thanks girls!!!! Heh Fran a lot of media about Mansfield of late. All good stuff. You're on the map. XLeonie
