Hi Kellee love, sounds like you've got your head on straight about the chemo. It sucks, but it's for a good reason, and they've got pretty good drugs for most of the side effects. You just have to roll with the fatigue, do all the mouth care recommended and exercise as best as you can manage through it all (helps reduce the severity of the side effects). If you do have chemo, find out what it's called (it's usually a series of inititals eg AC-T or FEC-D) and then you can get some help from the forum that's specific to your regime.
If you do have chemo you must find out if you can do a Look Good Feel Better workshop. They are pretty fun and you get lots of free make-up to take home.
Well done on pushing your agoraphobia boundaries. It's amazing that you're doing so well at this challenging time. Panic attacks and anxiety suck. Mine's been on the rise for the last 24 hours, not sure why.
My boob was briefly very sensitive and tender as the numbness wore off after my WLE. Why don't you give your breast care nurse a call and check it out with her? Hopefully she can set your mind at rest.
Stay in touch here, and let us know how you get on. Deep breaths, Kate xox
