newbie triple positive breast cancer

stressing about chemo and radiotherapy im 4 weeks post op and just starting to feel a little better on thursday i will recieve my results and then discuss about chemo im worried how it is going to effect me side effect wise as im main carer to my disabled son although we have arranged extra care for him im still concerned do i go through with chemo am i still going to be able to do the simple things for him it was tough enough on me after the operation that i was restricted as im normally a very independant person ..im 7 months out of a 30 year relationship and going through a tuff divorce and then get hit with this just as im getting me life back together never felt so alone just need that cuddle and be told everything is going to be ok ...i guess we all want that .... i know every person is different but i hate not knowing what to expect x

  • First of all take a few deep breaths try and come back to happy place.

    Now I had chemo before surgery but am the same as u, care for my disabled children, 

    I had pax for 12 weeks then ec 3 rounds every 2 weeks I know it seems daunting, and I was exactly (apart from surgery) where u are now a year ago, I was crying out as didn't think id be able to look after my babies on chemo.

    But it was very doable, you can find a day that's best for you to have chemo, mine was a Friday so I could have kids home the weekend and just nap when needed as that was my main side effects. 

    Discuss your concerns with your team and they will help you to be able to live realistically normal life while on chemo xxx
