Hi Im Liz

So having had my head under the pillows for at least  2 or 3 years, i suddenly admitted to a lump in my right boob to the Medical pharmacist at My GP's.   pre cancerous cells.To this day I dont know why.

Its December now Ive had a lumpectomy, second surgery to get a safe boundary and a third surgery to remove  rouge pre cancerous cells.

All have gone well, very little pain and a bit of itching.

Sadly yesterday My Wonderful surgeon who was signing me off her  list and ready t move me to the next stage informed she thinks I should have chemo to  hopefully remove the risk of a return.

Im now terrified. I struggle if Im sick as I usually passout  and feel crap for ages.  Not sure how much chemo I need, but can folk reasure me Ill cope. 

Im hubbys full time carer, I enjoy my life with 12 beautiful ponies, run a Ladies group and an ebay shop

I'm so so scared

    Hi Liz

    I had six rounds of chemo for breast cancer back in 2016. The anti sickness meds worked for me, chemo is bearable - the worst side effect I had was a terrible taste in my mouth which made eating no fun. The chemo nurses I'm sure - and should you need it,  will be able to put your mind to rest, ease your fears.  Like you I run an online business which I managed to keep going throughout treatment.

    All the best

    Hi Liz ,I had bilateral mastectomies in September last year ,followed by Chemo from December til March . I felt fine throughout,only fuzzy brain for a few days after chemo ,had strange taste ,like cardboard , when I had the AC , but that went after a few days . We have a small farm and I even carried on with lambing ,did wear gloves this time .

    Things have progressed so much ,anything you aren’t happy about ,tell them . I had all the antiemetics ,and I never felt nauseous or sick . Positive thinking now ,good luck xxx
