Worried to ask about prognosis
I’m starting to worry about my prognosis. I’ve been travelling my journey one part at a time but now I’m seeing a lengthy process. Stage 3 breast cancer.. From biopsy to mastectomy tumour had almost doubled in a few weeks and second level lymph node was cancerous and large. Had 4 rounds of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide every fortnight (not evey 21 days) I have just had my second round of paclitaxel today which is scheduled for 12 weeks, then having radiation therapy, then hormone therapy and then something to do with my bones. Having been reminded of all of this today, I’m starting to think I have been too positive thinking everything is going to be ok.. I know I need to talk to my oncologist. Thank you for taking the time to read this long post. 🤓What’s my prognosis doc? Artical by Sunil Jassal
https://www.suniljassal.com.au/post/what-s-my-prognosis I think it’s natural to ‘obsess’ about risk when you’re first diagnosed. I know personally I said to this wonderful surgeon (Sunil Jassal) ‘I have a husband and two children who need me, I need you to save my life!’ And 2.5 years on, I’m well, I don’t know what tomorrow brings, but I promised my family and myself that I would do my best, and that’s what I will continue to do. I will be forever grateful to Suni and the rest of my fabulous team
