@kitkatb Hello. Thank you for the welcome. I think I am at the same stage as you. Lumpectomy and sentinel node removal on the 22nd of may. Since the full on with appointments and tests. I start AC chemo on the 3rd of July ( 6 weeks after surgery). I am now in the wait mode with which I am doing everything I can in prep for chemo. Enjoying feeling normal for a bit. The flu shot last Thursday left me with horrible bone pain in the legs and hips over the weekend but thankfully that has passed now. I had traveled 3 hours to Melbourne to visit my children. I was shuffling around like a decrepit centenarian. I plan to work for the next 3 weeks with 2 appointments and getting my slimport fitted then play by ear once chemo starts. A little anxiety wanting the results of the bone scan last week as I am stage 2a at the moment with Grade 3 tumour removed.

It must have been scary for you having a re-excision. The thought of going back in with everything being so sore still makes me shudder. The beautiful ladies here have been an amazing support and help as I suffer from chronic anxiety so knowledge helps me immensely. I have a great medical team as well and I am comforted that my Onc can be contacted 24/7. I think I bought out the chemist this week in preparation for every contingency. The way I am going I am going to have a different head cover for every day of chemo and beyond. 3 weeks post surgery now and very very little pain and with the help of beauty oil the scars are lovely and soft and pinking up. I hope everything is moving along well for you too. Like @Eastmum said, once the chemo starts we will know that we can do it. We are all warriors!
