Reality dawns
Hi there, I was diagnosed in March and have had two surgeries since (lumpectomy and follow up). I am about to embark on 12 weeks of chemo plus herceptin and radiotherapy. The things that worry me most...
I gather your chemo is taxol. It starts out not so bad. You feel a bit hot the second day and by Saturday you may have arthralgia pains in joints or muscle pains. You may well be able to work through but you might not also. We are all different. By about halfway you start getting really really tired. So I urge you to have a plan B just in case. I was unable to work with chemo. However with herceptin only I had no problems.
