Hi, i’m a 50yr old teaching assistant and personal carer. I was diagnosed with a small tumor in April that only showed up on my mammogram(lucky I got called). I had a lumpectomy & 2 lymph nodes removed(clear) in June and some tissue removed in July. Post surgery. Everything has been removed and areas are clear. Saw oncologist yesterday. Thought it was to arrange radiotherapy but she suggested I have 4 chemotherapy sessions first. So there is little chance of the cancer reoccurring anywhere else. If I agree by 19 Aug. then I will start treatment 23 Aug. & then every 3 weeks until Oct.
I will be having Docetaxal. Would appreciate an overview on what to likely expect(I know everyone’s tolerance is different) in terms of how many days I may feel really bad after treatment, being able to work, etc. Also, has anyone benefitted from using a cold cap on Docetaxal. Thanks.
