Hi Margarida and a warm welcome from me too. Good to hear that you’re recovering from the operation - they usually say about 5 weeks so it’s still quite early days.
Chemo can be a bit daunting initially and there are a lot of side effects but you won’t necessarily get all of them and there are lots of pills and potions to help with them. The nurses will keep a close eye on you and the dosage can be lowered if you’re really struggling.
Members of the board have put together a thread with some top chemo tips that you might like to take a look at?
Hi Margarida, I too had chemo after the operation. I think what chemo you have varies with the location of the tumour. Once you know just ask! Someone is sure to know.
The gap between my operation and chemo starting was 2 months. They don't tend to start any quicker than 6 weeks as the healing need to be well on its way first. Take care
