Hi
I am struggling at the moment to maintain blood levels, I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year grade 4 triple negative I underwent surgery 4 month's of chemotherapy and 15 days of radiotherapy treatment it was very hard and struggled trying to keep it together and maintain good blood levels.
I thought I had come through this but sadly I received the news from my first mammogram after treatment cancer had returned in my other breast 6 weeks ago thankfully I have had surgery before covid lockdown, I am due to have telephone consultation tomorrow from oncologist to see what my treatment plan will be .
Has anyone else had to deal with this health issues and how did you manage to cope with it all.

Hi Pammy I can’t offer any practical or useful help but I’m sure that will be forthcoming soon. You have been so unlucky with this latest diagnosis. I supported a close friend through breast cancer, mastectomy, chemo, r/t a couple of years ago and saw the assault physically and mentally on her body. The big positive is there is more advances and successful treatment right now than in the past. Be very kind to yourself. Sending you virtual hugs and all the very best. Let us know how you are progressing when you can.
 
Hi Pammy, I’ve not had this myself but I want to wish you well and hope you will be clear of cancer when the next treatments are concluded. Let us know how the oncologist consultation goes and how the treatment proceeds, it’s not something you need to feel you have to face on your own.
 
Thank you for your kind message. I am still waiting on treatment plan due to first round of chemotherapy not long finished oncologist consultant concerned it will really hurt my body starting another round of this treatment. I am struggling walking at the moment need hip replacement due to last lot of chemotherapy hurting the hip waiting for 10mnts now I had a slot offered for Monday gone could not proceed due to pending chemotheraphy, blood levels are all over the place which is scary.
I will eventually get there xxx ="Fairygodmother, post: 2329417, member: 68789"]Hi Pammy, I’ve not had this myself but I want to wish you well and hope you will be clear of cancer when the next treatments are concluded.
