About Julles63

I have been diagnosed with triple negative stage 4 breast cancer and due to start chemo next Monday,

The oncologist has said that I will be having chemo for the next six months, which came as a bit of a shock, did not expect it to be that long. My consultant  has said there is a posability of  reconstructive surgery. But I must give up vaping for this to be possible.  Like thats going to be easy.

Obviously feeling a bit apprehensive about the side effects. And welcome any one who wants to compare notes and fears. I had PICC line put I yesterday, which wasn't quite as bad as I was expecting. I have decided not to try cold cap, have purchased a couple of soft hats, not sure about wig at minute.
