Hi, I had a mastectomy on 16th September and auxiliary lymph node clearance on 7th October. I start first of Four three-week cycles of EC chemo on 1st November. Pretty anxious about this next step as still sore from lymph node clearance. Not looking forward to potential side effects. Nervous about cold cap as well but want to give it a go. Any thoughts/ suggestions appreciated!
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
It's perfectly natural to be anxious about having chemotherapy. As you mentioned having a mastectomy I presume that this was for breast cancer so could I suggest that you join the breast cancer group where you can benefit by sharing experiences with others.
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 post your question 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 could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it 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.
