Hi Haz and Anna
Hopefully your visit to the clinic today gave you some of the answers that you need. There is so much to take in in the beginning. My husband came to all my appointments with me too because I would just not be able to take it all in. I used to hear one word and the mind wandered and I didnt hear a single word the surgeon said.
I too had a large tumour with lymph node involvement, so it is a little scary at the start. Chemo has had a bad wrap but there are so many improvements in that field and so many great medications to help with the side effects. We all conjur up pictures in our head of old, sick, bald, people when we think chemo. But in actual fact it is not as rough as I thought it would be.
Try not to think too far ahead at this stage. Just concentrate on the surgery on the 4th and recovering from that. Baby steps Anna and before you know it will be behind you.
Regards
Tanya
