Newly diagnosed TN meltdown

TN meltdown

Offline Reepsie over 4 years ago

Dear any TN ladies,

I am having a meltdown week. I have grade 3 TN and just near completing my first half of chemo.

all I can do is think about the future and what could happen. Anyone got any words of encouragement from their BCN or onco? I think I am going nuts!

Thank you

Oh that's really not what you wanted to hear.
I'm on EC then onto paclitaxol/carbo. Side effects weren't horrific...mainly tiredness.
Take care
