March 2025 chemo starters

Thank you. Sadly, as I have ibc there’s no alternative - I was very clear with the team & explained that my mental health is in the pitts and that I’m terrified this will make it worse & very serious. They say that reconstruction “could” be an option in the future, but I know i lack the fat at present on my stomach to reconstruct. (i also know that this is massive surgery.)

Given that prior to diagnosis I was given 3 rounds of antibiotics and told cancer was unlikely - i fee like i lack a significant amount of trust.

In the last 2 appointments I’ve said that i cannot do it & I genuinely feel like I can’t even though I know that time is of the essence. I ask them all the questions and they just answer “we don’t know”.

I’m on a waiting list for a psychologist - but appointment isn’t until August. I don’t know how to cope.

Sorry. X
