Hi,

Just reading some posts from newly diagnosed ladies. I can only offer my experience. After all the scans and biopsies I started with surgery for a 29mm lump in right breast HER2 pos. I opted for masectomy and I had lymph node removal underarm at the same time. Cancer was found in 2 nodes. I then had 3 rounds of FEC chemo, I should have had 6 but due to neutropenia my chemo was stopped at 3. Not a pleasant experience but you are closely monitored by your Oncologist and team. I then had 3 weeks of radiotherapy. I am now a year after treatment and doing well on Anastrazole medication. I get more fatigued and sad I've lost a breast, but getting on with my life. The journey is so scary but there are lots of us who have survived and always willing to chat! 
Best wishes 

Silver 

Hi Silverdays

so glad you've recovered and sorry you had to go through it.

it is tough I've found a positive mental attitude helps me get through. I have a bad week after chemo tired, groggy, nausea but it's been doable they've been good on the 24 hour line to get you the medicine to ease the side effects 

I still have a long way to go but I'm getting there
