I have been through a journey so far ups and downs finally got my appointment to start chemo 17th Dec got to have 3 units of bloods first has I'm anemic they asked me do I want to carry on with the treetment over Xmas or have a break

  • Oh well done on getting to this point. It’s been a long hard road for you but you are there .

    What do you feel about the option of stopping over Christmas? If it’s a three weekly cycle it would take you nearer the end of the first week of Jan . My mum had chemo over Christmas two years in a row and she managed. Have you got some support over the holiday period ?

    Take care ,

  • Yes I think that could be an issue for you . Hopefully it will settle now . Did you do that more than once ?

    I think you will see an improvement very soon .
