Chemotherapy treatment

Chatter
Offline

Just about to start treatment for breast cancer after surgery for a muscinious carcinoma. Feeling alone with lots of people around me. All results were good but had the oncotyp dx  test which came back high.  Had it all sorted that it was three weeks of radiotherapy now that's out the window. Guess in shock still  as chemotherapy wasn't going to be needed

    Hi Chatter,

    Try not to get too freaked out by the idea of having chemo, it's just another regime of drugs similar to many others. My own reaction was similar to Graham's wife's - "is that it?" Obviously not everyone feels that way, but that seems to be a common reaction, especially after all the hype and worry in the run up to the first infusion.

    There are so many different types of chemo and everyone reacts slightly differently to them. 

    Best wishes
    Dave
