starting my 'journey'
I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago and had a lumpectomy last and sentinel node biopsy last Wednesday. I'll see my surgeon for results and treatment plan this Thursday. Things are moving so quick but I think I'm handling it well so far. It's good to find you and get some support.

- I am sorry that you ended up in hospital. Wow I just realised that I have not been on here for a long time. I too ended up in hospital with a temp of 38 too. They also could not tell me what caused my infection. I hope you are doing well now.
Gosh Katia, so sorry you've had a hard time. I can't comment on handling an infection, thankfully I never had to go down that path. I did avoid crowds and sick people though. I work with special needs children and didn't want to take the risk of catching something from them so no work for 3 months. My sister has a lung condition and was told to stay away from from immunosuppressed people so I avoided family gatherings. I did the online shopping thing. I guess just minimise contact. I'm told that day 7 to day 14 you are most vulnerable. After saying that I also think that its not good to shut yourself away, you still need to get out and about. My daughter and I go for walks in the evening and I have so loved this special time with her.
Good luck with your second cycle, nurture yourself. Take care and keep us posted with your journey.
