Telgirls dance with cance.....22

Less than one minute read time.

After such brill news yesterday managed to drag myself into work today and stay until nearly 4 so major achivement.

Still on a high from yesterday then my mobile has just rung, the nurse from the oncology ward to give me two dates, next Tuesday for my pre chemo visit and then 1st treatment on 21st December, went a bit quiet and she asked if I was ok and when I said the oncologist had said treatment would start after xmas she said she had had the referral and my first treatment is in two weeks time, shell shocked to say the least, can I ask for a delay till after xmas or not

 

take care love Terri xxx

    Hi Terri,

    great news yesterday for you am so pleased.  I know you were hoping to wait until after xmas to start your chemo but I would just go for it.  My mum had chemo 3 days before xmas 4 years ago and was not bad on xmas day just a bit tired really but she was okay.  it is your first and it may not hit you that hard.  but again it is your decision.  Keep strong and stay positive.

    Don't ask for a delay Terri, have the chemo. Best to stick to the plan pet. Love Linda

  • Hi Terri

    Don't know which chemo you are having. I had TAC but the first 4 were not too bad at all. The sooner you start the sooner it will be all over.

    Best of luck whatever you decide.

    Love
