Hi I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer in August and had lumpectomy in September then had first chemo of six in October. Any advice would be appreciated.
I have also had a lumpectomy and have just finished 15 sessions of radiotherapy. I didn't have to have chemo as luckily, i found my lump really early.
The best piece of advice that i can offer to you is to be kind to yourself and listen to your body ; get as much rest as you can and don't be too proud to accept help when it's offered.
Many thanks for your advice. I'm up and down at the moment and trying to relax but finding it very difficult. I'm not looking forward to next chemo on 15/11 but trying to stay positive.
I'm sorry i can't give you any useful advice in regards to chemo because i was lucky enough not to have, but lots of people will have had to have it..and i'm sure you'll get plenty of advice from them. Are you having radiotherapy after your chemo ends ? If so, then please don't worry about it. Apart from feeling tired and having a red, itchy boob (which you get given cream for) then it's nothing to worry about.
