have not written for a long time so here goes had mastectomy 2nd july went fantastic very little discomfort tripple negative grade 3 no lymph node spread August line insertion the started chemotherapy Epirubicin and cyclophosphamide 3 cycylces 3 weeks apart did well although hospitailized 1st and 3rd cycle with neutropenic sepsis on second admission developed groin swelling my oncologist arranged CT scan with contrast to ease my mind 2 hrs later consultant and 2 macmillan nurses came in my room didnt take medical knowledge to know somthing was wrong so i had reactive lymphadenopothy i was waiting for the but and it came. During the scan they found a mass in left kidney more scans were done diagnosed left kidney cancer nothing to do with breast cancer. I am devastated can not get my head round this i am heartbroken i know, being a nurse for 28 yrs, its the best cancer to have easily cured but carnt stop crying at the moment of course then the same week changed to Taxol and had a horrible reaction within 4 minutes so the plan now is to got back to original chemo for another 3 cycles then in the new year deal with the kideny cancer. Has anyone else been diagnosed with 2 separate cancer at the same time? how can i get my head around this my husband and daughters are in so much distress.
