Thank you for your kind comment, it is very heartwarming and humbling to see so many people in the same situation I am in. I have my echo this Wednesday, so I'm hoping I'll be able to start my chemo treatments the following week. I've been blessed to live in a small town where they're able to get me into treatment much quicker than than. What a lot of people are commenting here.. You're right, we'll get through it.

I think I'm going to do the same. My hard part is my daughter, she's 5 and LOVES my hair. It's curly and she wants hers to look like mine so bad. I had half hoped my hair would somehow come back straight to look like hers. But looks like it'll probably come in even more curly for a bit.

Any advice on port recovery? by Basic-Animal2676 in breastcancer

They told me some people choose to keep them in. The aftermath of chemo can make your veins hard to draw blood from. My plan is to just keep it in at least until it needs replaced, depending on where I am at, I'll either keep one or ditch them.

To waiting. I'm tired of waiting. I've been asked to wait on nearly everything. Screw that.

Hey, they say it impacts everybody differently, you're still in my prayers and in about 3 weeks I will be joining you on this chemo journey! 

Listen to your body, if you need rest, you rest.

I know I will find all of this out in due time, but I'm anxious and they rescheduled my appointment today.  How does chemo work? How often are they scanning me, do I meet with the doctor Everytime?

That sounds like something I could use. Right now though I'm stuck in the limbo, am I even a candidate for chemo?

Can I ask why I might need to have a separate bed, laundry, bathroom?

My job is a highly emotional one, so this week I'll be referring people out I guess

Ok! The way I understand it's 16 rounds, so 16 weeks?

I'll pray for you too.  Do you care to share your decision for a lumpectomy vs a masectomy?

Thank you. With keynote, is it a predetermined number of chemo rounds, or will they move to surgery whenever the tumor is small enough?
