Having scan Friday need of prayers
Well ladies I had a visit with my oncologist today along with a herceptin treatment. She found an area in question on my right chest wall near the axillary area and she wants me to have a scan Friday. I am freaking out as I just had prophylactic mastectomy on this side in June. I so hate this disease! She is also switching me from arimidex to aromesin due to joint pain. Anyone else taking the aromesin? Any noticable side effects? Do you ever get over the fear with disease and just start living your life again? I keep trying but keep getting knocked down again. Thanks for just letting me vent.
