Pleased but apprehensive.

1 minute read time.

Have been for my pre chemo assesssment today. Asked me if I wanted to start this Wednesday? Hell Yeah!!!!!

Had an ECG, (with unshaved legs, whoops!!) and bloods taken. I have the most fantastic veins so hopefully getting the poison into me won't be a problem.

Lots of information to take in at once, took my sister with me as I would rather have her come and digest the information with me than my hubby, (straight in one ear and out the other.) Warned about lots of side affects, which am told will probably not happen, but am being stocked up with half of the pharmacy just in case!!

I suffered terribly with morning sickness so have been told (not by chemo nurses) that I will probably more prone to chemo sickness. Something to look forward to then, NOT!!!

My hubby wants to come with me for the first chemo, even though he hates hospitals, as he feels it is the only thing he can practically do to help me.

Think I will blitz the house tomorrow in case I take to my sick bed with all these awful side affects?? I am pleased that things are moving so quickly but am understandably very apprehensive as I don't know what to expect.

Think I will expect the worst, then if it is better than I anticipated surely that is a bonus.

Take care, hope everyone is as well as can be expected. Take care. Love and hugs, Debbie. xx

    Thanks for your advice John and the good luck wishes.

    Jewels I am having 3 FEC and 3 Tax, will try and keep a record of my symptoms as will help for next cycle.  

    Hope I am the same as you and won't need that bowl Sue.

    Thankyou for your good luck wishes Belinda.

    I am reassured by your reaction to the chemo Angela, so hopefully I won't feel too bad.

    Will try and keep blog updated if feel up to it. Thanks again everyone. Love and hugs. Debbie. xx

    Hi Debbie

    Hope it all goes well, everytime I went for chemo I was given all my drugs which was great, hopefully you will be the same.  As John says your GP can give you a form for prescription exemption.

    I was advised to keep a diary and it did help pin point the days I felt crap or had no energy and what I did to help.

    Best wishes
