Very new TNBC patient

Thanks Paula,

Yep, my head is still fine.  I've overdone it a little today and struggling to stay awake just to watch Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries (my favourite).

Wow, 37 lymph nodes is huge.  I'm struggling with my right arm almost 4 weeks after surgery and I only had two sentinal nodes removed for biopsy.

I will be asking about radio.  I'm hoping I get away with not having it.  My tumor apparently was contained so it was removed and the theory is that there aren't any radical cells left.  I'm hoping the chemo is just a mop up to make sure.  Who knows though?  I can only ask for the oncologist's advice and if it doesn't sit well with me and my sixth sense I will ask for a second opinon.

I'm also hoping that chemo isn't too shitty.  I can cope with a fair bit and apparently I have a high pain tolerance (who knew?) so maybe it won't be too bad.  I am watching and listening to others though and I know it isn't all roses by any stretch.

Thanks for being here for me.  I hope that I can pass on the love at a later date.
