Hi everyone,
I'm sure I'm not the first to say this but I never post on things like this!
I'm 34, 7 months pregnant and about to start chemotherapy today for breast cancer. Just over 3 weeks ago I was none the wiser about any of this, when in a pregnancy yoga class I had to lie on a gym ball and felt uncomfortable. Found what felt like a tiny lump, a bit like a spot under the skin. Fast forward to now and I can't even describe how much it's changed. It's in my lymph nodes too, but not formally staged at this point as staging scans not done yet (this feels like a blessing and a curse).
Saw oncologist on Friday and was feeling positive that treatment is starting so soon (they've been amazing) but also battling the inevitable fears.
I will also have to take a break in treatment fairly soon to have my baby, which is scary on both fronts!
Determined to do anything and everything to get better, but needed somewhere to say stuff to give my husband a break - I can see the fear on his face and it breaks my heart. The fear of missing out on the future we'd planned is the worst.
Thanks for reading.
