Terrified of chemotherapy

Hi I’m so sorry to hear you have to go through this while pregnant. I can’t imagine what that would feel like. I can’t help with the pregnanxy side of things but hopefully someone on here can help and I suppose the oncology team will have all the answers for you when you see them. I was similar apart from the pregnancy - they first thought i had a T2 tumour then histology confirmed T4a and 5 lymph nodes so I had to do 8 rounds of chemo ( currently coming to the end of cycle 6). It has been manageable and I never thought I would get this far as I found it so overwhelming to begin with. So I just wanted to reply about that side of things xx

Hi Beckyice32016d This is obviously something that you’ll need to discuss with your oncologist but you could maybe see if the support desk could give you some guidance on the number below?

Take care

Beckyice32016d  This is awful for you  My heart goes out to you, so rotten for this to happen at the early stages of your pregnancy. You MUST get expert advice but but, don't despair;you'll find lots of friendly support here.many of us have been through chemo-like you, my rectal tumour under histology turned out to show lymph node and vein involvement so I was urged to do chemo and really , it wasn't so bad. You CAN and will get through this x
