Re: New to the Group
I am sorry that you have joined us. Everything is overwhelming right now. It does get better with time. I had a 2.5 cm tumor but 18 involved nodes. I couldn't understand why I had an average size tumor but so many nodes. It really brought me down and although I was too young to have a mamo, I still blamed myself for not finding it sooner. Unfortunately, cancer doesn't play by any rules.
I had the same treatment that you are having. I wish you the best during your treatment and I second Nancy, soup is the best thing after chemo.
