My chemotherapy was about 18 months ago. Forgotten (or suppressed) the drugs used. It was a very aggressive Grade 3 cancer with a 8cm by 2cm (huge) lump, somewhat soft so I didn't feel it, it was detected in a routine mammogram. Had 21 cancerous lymph nodes out of 31 removed during the mastectmomy.
My fingernails reacted badly, with soreness and lifting off the nail bed eventually some falling off. YUK. All good now though with only some minimal soreness and large white areas on some nails. Cover that with a nice manicure when necessary though.
Feeling better about things now although still have moments of depression and on Arimidex so have bad knee joint pain. But hey I am here to complain about it!!
Good luck to all undergoing treatment. It is worth it and everyday I am here is a blessing and another day I get to enjoy my daughters and my grandchildren.
