Hi there, I'm new to the group and thought I'd say hi. 

I have inflammatory breast cancer and started my first chemo session beginning of Sept. I have had horrendous side effects and when they said it would be bad, this is not what I expected. 

It's all very overwhelming and I'm just starting to lose chunks of hair so that's something new to navigate. 

I live with my 2 elderly parents of which one has Alzheimers and I am her full time carer. With no partner or kids of my own, it does seem a lonely journey to go through for the next 6 months or so.

  • Hi  Welcome to the forum although I'm sorry you have found yourself here. 

    The forum is split into different cancer types/ experiences to make it easier to connect with people going through the same as you. I had a different cancer but found my little section very supportive. I have put a link below to the breast cancer section, if you post there hopefully someone in your situation will respond.
