Keep going Iris - I was diagnosed in October and have 2 shots of chemo, my third is due this Friday. 

I am suffering from horrible anxiety but then I get a glimmer of hope.

Hi Lara 

I'm not doing too bad apart from the anxiety.  I wonder whether this is normal?

I think the anxiety is normal unfortunately, my friend had 15 rounds of chemo started last March she has had her operation now and is now on chemo again for another 6 months bless her .

I think it could be a good idea to ask your gp for something for the anxiety I had a very very low dose on my diagnosis which helped me so much , I also had the tablets to hand to take before appointments that's where I struggled with most . 
when is your surgery planned for ? I think it's just shock aswell x 

I'm already on anxiety meds!  I can usually manage to rise above the anxiety but not this time. 

My chemo is due to last until mid-June, then I will find out what surgery I will need. 

How about you Honey, what's your situation?

I'm good thank you I have finished treatment in nov I'm now on tamoxifen daily and doing well at work at home .

will you be taking the hormone tablets after your treatment and operation ? 
 

sorry that the meds are not working when you say this time have you been in this situation before bless you sue x

I have triple negative breast cancer so I can't have hormone treatment.  I'm on chemo plus immunotherapy, then I will have EC. 

I've suffered from anxiety for years but managed to cope with it, but this time it's really getting me down.

My friend also had triple negative x 

My friend had chemo for months 3 weekly then once a week she had lunpectomy after then 1 week of radiotherapy same time as me then started 6 months of chemo tablets she's doing well on the chemo tablets x 

Sounds as though your friend is same as me; I have chemo once per week for 3 weeks, then a week off.  I repeat this 4 times.  Then I will have EC once every three weeks and repeat this 4 times. Then I will have surgery. 

Hope she is doing ok 

xx

Yes. The anxiety is horrible.

No idea what I'm facing - but I know that I can't have radiotherapy.

The chemo regime sounds tough.

Sue that's exactly what she had , I can honestly say after surgery and radio her hair has grown back loads and the chemo tablets don't make your hair fall out her hair is back fully and was so quick x 

Iris 

you may not get chemo done cancers don't require chemo x 

Thanks Lara.
