Hi
My name is Lynne. I was first diagnosed on 15th April 2010, had a lumpectomy (4cm) and sentinel lymph node removed on 29th April and will be having the final of 6 chemo treatments Friday next week (Thank God!)
Thankfully the results of the surgery were excellent i.e. no spread detected (even though the tumour was grade 3), but I still have to go through the roller coaster of chemo (6 x 3 weekly cycles), radio, daily for 4 weeks and Herceptin for 12 months. Although I feel positive about the outcome I find I am having trouble dealing with day to day things, like cleaning, washing etc. Any tips on this? I have tried ignoring it and this works most of the time but some days...
