Wait is over

Well I got the call from my oncologist,and it is HER2 negative.For a moment I was relieved!then she said we will still go ahead with chemo.I feel a bit shocked tonight,but I went to my chemo education last Monday,and I feel as prepared as I can be.I read all the great posts on here from all you ladies that have done this before,and I am sure I will be fine.I will be starting next Monday.Thanks for listening.Robyn.

  • Thanks to all the wonderful people on here.I love this network,and the way people support complete strangers.I,like many of you,have an amazing husband,and wonderful children.This network is just the icing on the cake isn't it?
  • The waiting is horrible and there is nothing that can be said or that we can do to rid us of that anxiety. My heart goes out to you, I do so remember that feeling. We seem to spend our time waiting, waiting for results, in waiting rooms for tests or to see doctors, for our chemo to go through (5 hours a time for me), in rooms just waiting but......there is light it does come to an end eventually.

    If possible do something special this weekend, somethign that changes your focus even for a few hours.

  • I think you're right Robyn. The waiting can be awful. I'm sitting in the Chemo Unit now waiting for my Herceptin infusion. All I seem to do is wait for endless appointments. At least I'm finished chemo. Good luck wig yours and I wish you no bad side effects. Love Janey xxx
  • Thanks.my anxiety levels are up there,just as they were before my mastectomy.i somehow think the waiting is the worst part.
