Starting treatment

Hello , I have been recovering well from my left breast mastectomy, I have to say I had a very fast recovering time. I could drive pretty much from the first week as I had full mobility of my arm and I had no trouble at all regarding healing. The only slightly painful thing is at my weekly visits to my surgeon to sirynge the fluids from my breast, but this week should be the last ( 3 in total ). I accepted my appearances from the beginning , it really doesn't fuss me, I'm really just focused on healing and recovering. My pathology report says that I had an infiltrating ductal carcinoma (grade 3) ; 26x20mm , no lymphovascular invasion, focal, high grade introduct carcinoma at the tumour margin ; nearest margin superior 3 mm , neg sentinel node and one other negative axillary node. Oestrogen receptor : Positive Progesterone receptor : Positive HER-2 negative I will start Chemo on the 25 th ; 3 courses of FEC, and 3 of DOCETAXEL, followed by not 5 but probably 10 yrs ( my oncologist is saying that this is the length what they are going to recommend for everyone ?) of TAMOXIFEN. No radio, yay! I am also going to have the genetic test done and the results will determine further surgery or/ and treatment. Not looking forward to hair loss and menopause, my oncologist is saying that regardless of my period coming back or not , we'll have to think of inducing menopause to stop oestrogen feeding my cancer . And lose weigh, I must lose weight, 10 -15 kg for sure, the ones I put on with my pregnancies . So I'm looking forward to start, it sounds weird but I want to get it over and done with. I read so much , so many precious informations out of all you that somehow I am feeling ready for it, so thank you very much for sharing your experience .I even booked my session with Look. Good , Feel Better and I can't wait for that . Hope you are feeling great and thank you for reading this. Federica
