Hi .chrissie, sorry you find yourself in our special club but its a good place for advice and support.
Don’t google…only use breast cancer care or Macmillan
I am Nearly at the end of chemo Fec t .
Why don’t you write something about yourself on here as Jo suggests?
There are threads on here for every month that people start chemo, I am a may moonbeam.
Lots of other great threads too about all aspects of bc
Hello ladies , well im 49 and work as a mental health agency hca . my diagnosis is still a bit of a shock as i only went to the dr with a case of mastitis or so i thought . The weekend oncall told me to go to my dr on the monday as it might be "something a bit more serious " I did as she suggested to be told to carry on with the antibiotics and go back in a week , never tell a nurse this lol so that same monday i went to spire and saw a lovely consultant who did tests there and then and gave me my initial diagnosis .This was exactly 3 weeks today and i am already i week into my first FEC-T chemo through the NHS
I cant fault the NHS in this case even if they have many faults . i have read some posts especially about the effects of chemo and can see its not me going mad by waking up at 4 am lol … thanks for listening xx
I just want to say hi Chrissie xx
