After my lumpectomy and slnb on April 21st in have had my results and today my appointment with oncology.
I’m to have EC every 3 weeks for 6 sessions then Carboplatin weekly followed by 1 week off this is for 3 sessions. After this 10 days of radiotherapy.
Too say I was shocked is an understatement and now I’m just scared.
I know I’ve got to go through it but the thought of from next month until Xmas being so unpleasant fills me with dread.
Hi,
I had my first treatment yesterday. (Ec which i will have every 21 days for 3 cycles then T every 21 days for 3 cycles. Then radiotherapy and hormone suppressing drugs.)
It was so much better than i imagined, i had a pre chemo chat and vist the week b4 and my nurse sat with me and explained everything to me again yesterday. Luckly i havent had any reaction other than a mussy head and strong headache last night into this morning.
Everyday im sure will be different im sure.
Ive had left boob off and reconstruction and 12 lymph nodes removed, i feel if i can do that i can pretty much to anything to keep my cancer away.
You will be fine with positively around, nothing wrong with uncertainty and wobbles. Good luck. X
