Breast Cancer 2nd time around .

Hi 

I was diagnosed in March with breast cancer after 13 years of being all clear . Was such a shock for my self and the family . It was on the same side as last time. Which is hard to believe . 

Ive had an opp , but the surgeon did not manage to get it all . 

My treatment plan is 6 months of chemo and 3 weeks of radio . 

Im just coming to the end of my 1st chemo , which has not been good . The  cannula  leaked some of the chemo out and burnt my skin badley . It's been so sore .

They can not use my arm no longer . So they are going to fit a port next week . I'm so scared . Just been a tough three weeks . I guess that's why I don't sleep much . x

 

 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Kayw18 although I'm really sorry to hear your cancer has returned after 13 years.

    I can't begin to imagine what you are going through at the moment but I'm glad you've joined as many members here have also been in this position and I'm sure some of them will post soon to offer their support and share their experiences with you.

    I hope the chemo and radiotherapy manage to get the rest of the cancer and that your treatment starts to get better and easier to manage soon.

    Post as much as you need to Kay as our members are very understanding and will do all they can to help you through this.
