Is there ever a light at the end of the tunnel????
I was diagnosed with grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma end of March this year. Since then I have had lumpectomy, sentinel node biopsy and auxillary dissection. Have just completed 4 cycles of chemo (TC) and have really struggled with recovery. Seem to get every side effect going round. After surgery I ended up with seratoma, then cording, which is still an issue. Chemo left me with severe pain in all my joints and still have leg (bone) pain now. Nerve endings in my fingers and toes are dead! 4 days into radiation and I have ended up with lymphodema.
Really had to stay positive when everything seems so negative.
My one little joy came last Wednesday when my first grandchild was born. He is so incredibly beautiful and gives me the will to keep going with this horrible treament.
Sorry to sound so down, but today is one of those bad days!
