My tumor was removed NOV 6 was grade 2

the chemo is very doable-I did so much better on it than I thought. What is the grade of your tumor? ask for the grade.

Yes thabk you so much think reading into the dode affects has ne thinking to much especially on losing my hair the thought of my grandchildren seeing me has me n tears 😪💔they gonna ask questions im just crying like a baby im so emotional waant expecting Chemo. Was supposed to be just radiation but im scheduled Dec 14 even if i havent decided if im doit just yet then u think of what can happen if i dont. Im so confused

@A MyBCTeam Member I did the taxotere, (with Carboplatin and Herceptin) 6 rounds scheduled for 3 weeks apart. However, 2 rounds were postponed to give my blood cells and platelets an extra week to get back to a safer number (to avoid additional fatique and higher risk of infections). So, I started the first week of Jan 2019, and finished the chemo infusions in June. It sounds scary, it is scary, BUT nowhere near as bad as you think it will be. You are every bit as strong as the rest of us- you CAN do this! Definitely not fun- but seriously, don't freak yourself out reading about all the side effects- it's just everyone's legal cover their backend procedure to tell you the all the possibles. Think of it as a menu- you go to the restaurant, and everything on the menu is a possible choice for you- but in no way are you going to order everything!! Yes, you will experience some side effects, but the doctors also know which ones are the most common, and there are meds out there to help offset a lot of those. Hugs, just take care of yourself tonight. Tomorrow, when you are rested, not quite in shock, is a good time to start writing your questions down for the oncologist. More Hugs-
