Today yet again I had my breast out for public view and more people came to gork at it :) I guess I do have a condition that is more rare than others so it was bound to happen, shame that I could not charge money as I feel a little like a skimpy taking my top off for everyone to look at.
But wow man do I understand so much more about cancer and chemotherapy since going to the Oncologist NOT. The thing I am grateful for was a great friend that took the time to come with me to the Oncologist appointment wow did I need her, when you are diagnosed with this life changing condition it is enough but when you see doctor after doctor and they throw names and situations and options at you it can be a little to take in. I would recommend taking someone with you to help you filter the information as it can be a lot all at once and you only retain some of it.
One thing that I do understand is that Oncologists are in a bread of their own ! I am glad that my sister in law gave me the details of her Oncologist as it freaked me out and I was stressed but also gave me the ability to get an opinion on something that I was terrified about and now he is MY Oncologist and I feel comfortable with him he was very quick to get me on treatment and get me into a place for Chemotherapy for next Tuesday.
What does this now mean for me ?
Well at this stage the discussion was had with my oncologist and I will most likely be on a very strong Chemotherapy that is going to be quite harsh on my body and I will more than likely loose my hair and need to be away from the job and the children I love because it could be a potentially dangerous for me. So my life had done a complete 180 and kicked me in the bum.
Although this is still not definite till Friday when my Core biopsy results are back so will let everyone know on Friday :)
