Wondered about pulling together some of the tips that people share that may be of use to others preparing to start chemotherapy!

She had it reduced but not dropped . Did they not explain why . Give your specialist nurse a phone and ask . It’s important you understand .
Take care ,

This explains it, , chemo in any form is obviously toxic!
It’s so good to bring this to the fore. Is there a way to build a library of helpful advice? Otherwise threads can get buried
Hi ,
I honestly don’t know but I will find out . It’s a good point . Whilst a few of us have it bookmarked it relies on us retrieving it .It would be a great idea to have this and the radiotherapy top tips visible .
I will ask admin and see if there is something they can do . Gemmary feel free to give me a wee nudge if I forget .

Hi ,
Just to update , I have passed this request on to admin . Any specific aspects anyone wants covered pleased feel free to comment . If there is a way of doing so it might get a slightly filtered version removing the chat aspects to make it easier to read . That’s my opinion but open to everyone’s suggestions and I will pass them along .
