Frightened again
Hi,
Im finished my chemo for about a month now. I've been to see my oncs. Everything is looking good. I go on Wednesday to set up for my rads. I'll have to get 25. Wednesday I also begin talking tamoxifen and after rads I begin Herceptin. But this week has been so hard. My 5 year old son has started school and I just cant help wondering what the future holds and how much of it I will be involved in. I've been trying to shake it for a couple of days but I just cant get rid of that feeling. Is this normal, will it pass?
The other thing thats happening, my fingers and lower arms are numb in the morning with pins and needles. It takes awhile for them to wake up and return to normal. I keep thinking there's something wrong, maybe I should just go and get it checked. IF I cough, I think here we go, is there any suggestions on how to get rid of these thoughts and try to have some kind of normalacy or is that asking for too much. Any thoughts or suggestions would be great.
Dawn
