Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I can't answer your question, as I haven't had chemotherapy, but I noticed that your post hadn't had any response yet.
Could I recommend that you join the main breast cancer group as it's much busier than this one and I'm sure the people over there will be able to help. In fact, they have a thread dedicate to chemotherapy questions which you could post in if you wanted to.
If you'd like to join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and copy and paste your question from here after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
Wishing you all the best with your upcoming treatment
