Chemo delayed?

On Monday I had my 3rd chemo of 6 cycles. Has anyone had their chemo delayed half way through because of Corona virus? I am really hoping that mine will go ahead, although scared at the Hospital, what a worry.

  • Hello, 

    Mine was stopped - going for mastectomy on Tuesday. 

    The oncologists seem to be contacting everyone at the min. 

    Just stay safe xx

  • I am sure you are anxious about the masectomy.

    Are you having reconstruction afterwards. I opted not too as I am having radiotherapy after the chemo, maybe some time later down the line. Very personal decision to be discussed with team. 
    I found the masectomy physically not too bad, after recovering from the anesthetic, home quite soon and the scar healed quite quickly with disposable stitches. Mentally I found I mourned losing a breast, but also a huge relieve to have the cancer removed. Big step in recovery.  
    be thinking about you ️Silver 

     

  • Hi Silver, 

    I am not so worried about the mastectomy itself, there are enough women on here who have had one who have been really positive like you. 

    Yes I am most glad the cancer is going. I will pop back in next week and let you know xxx
