Starting Chemo next week
My first diagnosis of Cancer was secondaries in the liver. That was on 16/9. I have been through plenty of tests in the past month, u/s, CT, MRI, endoscopy and liver biopsy. I do know that my liver tumours have grown and multiplied between scans within 3 weeks of each other. I have HER2 positive cancer in my left breast which is tiny but has spread aggressively in my liver. I have my first oncologist appt. Monday and assume port will be put in midweek, then Chemo. This has all come as a huge surprise to me, I have finished up work for now because I was a new employee and couldn't know what time off I was needing for tests then ongoing treatment which I believe will be aggressive (but not sure what this means yet). So sitting at home contemplating, coping most of the time but still scared.
