Tomorrow I will be starting chemotherapy. As many of you know, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I had a bilateral (double) mastectomy last month. The pathology reports state that I am cancer free breast-wise, and my lymph nodes are clean.
My mother's large family has an extensive cancer history. Just in case any cancer cells are whizzing around in my body, looking for a place to have a party, they will be getting the boot! This is a very prudent thing for me.
I am kind of scared of the procedure. You know all the horror stories that people feel the need to tell me. I am feeling kind of like a child with a loose tooth. He knows it needs pulling,and he dreads it. In the long run, he knows it will make things better.
So, have any of you had chemo after being sleeved? I am worried about nutrition. Any words of wisdom and advice will be very much appreciated. Thank you.
