Starting chemo tomorrow
Hello everyone. I'm starting my first chemo tomorrow and am looking for advice. Do's and don't do's.
My Onc is starting me on Herceptin and Tamoxifen.
I have a port put in and got a couple lidocaine patches from my doctor, since the port area is still sore.
I was dx 12/12/06 with IDC with mets to bone. I had a lumpectomy with axial disection. I got clear margins and no axial node involvement. (yay!)
I do have inner mammary node involvement and several areas of bone mets, according to the Pet/CT scan and 3 doctors.
I am awake now because of bone pain. ugh.. and will talk to the onco about that too.
Any tips will be appreciated.
