My body's immune system after cancer
Breast Cancer | Last Active: Feb 9 7:56pm | Replies (20)Comment receiving replies
Thank you so much for your prompt reply that means a lot to me. I am scared I start my round two of chemo next week and also another CAT scan to see if round one chemo has reduced my tumors at all. I am scared I’m in denial and I am alone. At 63 I never thought I would be dealing with this. I am trying to stay positive but I do need to find a mentor and a volunteer that I can talk to you who understands. Thank you again and have a good night.

You are definitely not alone. You found all of us. Inflammatory breast cancer is a bad dog, but I have seen a few bad dogs become quite tame in the last few years. With the new drugs and combinations of drugs there is always hope.
The immune system always takes a hit from chemo, be sure and keep yourself safe.
Have you visited
https://www.breastcancer.org/.
There is quite a bit of information there.
You said you have taken one cycle, how did you tolerate the treatment?
How are you doing, Jo?

I hope you can find a good friend/mentor/therapist to talk to soon. Please believe that your treatment will work (say it aloud to yourself), visualize in your head that your tumors are shrinking and shrinking every day. And if the scans do not say so, it just means the shrinking is happening tiny bit and the machine precision is not able to catch it yet :)))
Does your hospital have a patient support group (people with similar conditions) that you can attend?
