Hi,
Brand new here. I’ve had to have four surgeries in 5 months but now I’m all clear to go with chemo.
I’ve just had my chemo pre assessment and tbh I’m feeling quite scared. I’m due to have EC-Paclitaxel in a week, for 4 months every other week. EC for 2 months and then Paclitaxel for 2 months.
The nurses at the pre assessment were really nice but they really scared me with all the effects and issues and my oncologist is not particularly the most friendly when it comes to asking questions.
I’d love to hear someone else’s experience if they have had this treatment and any suggestions that have worked for you.
Thanks so much
