First Follow Up - Scared!!

ch5203

I have my first 3 month follow up after several months of chemo and 6 weeks of radiation.  I am terrifed.  Of course, I am annalyzing every pain or weird feeling I am having!!  I had 7 effected nodes.  I really need to hear from people who had effected nodes that are surrviors.  Any positive thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I'm some seven years out from node positive IDC treatment. Still on an anti-estrogen. 

 

Followups bring it all full circle, but hope and knowledge that bc treatments are effective and can be used again if/when needed, help keep my anxiety in check.

 

I wish you well and will think of you this next week, hoping your oncologist and staff too can help through these visits.

 

My best to you and your family,

Tender

Hi,

I just had my scans done last week and all came back NED!!! It definatly a stressfull point and I can ony hope it gets easier each year. I just think we are like did it work did they get it all etc. I also having been suffering from severe bone aches since last set of chemo TX, so I thought after awhile it would go away but it has not. So yes I had myself convinced I had bone mets! But now I know I don't. Its most likely the Herceptin but PHEW!!!!

      I wish you the best of luck I am highly positive my diagnosis says HER2+ but should be +++ So I understand the anguish over everything and being lympnode + makes it scary. You will be good I will say that prayer for you and Give You A Big Cyber Hug!!!!!!!
