Post lumpectomy

Hi There

 

Haven't posted for a while. Had surgery 11th December and returned to work on 14th January. Just been told today need chemotherapy FEC T . Bit shellshocked as was under the impression I only needed radiotherapy and hormone tablets. Still staying positive though. 

  • Hi there

    sorry you've had the news we all don't want to hear .. just know on here your not alone ... many have walked that path .. and everyone feels different with treatment ... just think, they are zapping those cells we want away ... so don't be surprised to feel scared or weepy ... it's not about just feeling strong ... it's about feeling all those feelings and yet still looking it in the eye, and taking it on .. 

    Sending you a vertual hug. . Chrissie x
