Hello lovely people, and Welcome to the September Chemotherapy Chat! I cant believe its September already!
This thread is for all of you soldiers, going through chemotherapy to take a look at, ask questions, answer questions and be there for one another in a way only you guys know how.
If you want to find this post quickly, you can hit the 'Save In My Favourites' button.
For all of those of you going through chemotherapy, you are superstars. You are amazing, and you are fighting each and every day, you are my heroes. If you need any extra tips, our Chemo Tips Page is something you may find very helpful, and something that you may find you would like to share with others who are also going through chemo. One top tip, ask about parking at the hospital you are being treated at; for some Cancer patients parking is either free or discounted (big discount!) So it's worth asking about.
To get a sense of how the thread works, here is a link to the August chat which will be being locked from replies soon, but have a read anyway if you'd like to.
Remember, you're never alone, you have us! And, just try to focus on what your chemotherapy is doing. Its hopefully kicking your cancers butt.
I hope you are coping with me doing these! And I hope all of you are doing as well as you can do while going through this tough part of your journies.
Happy September Everyone,
Lots of love, hugs, light and healing to each and every one of you.

I’m in!
Day 12 of 2nd FEC. Side effects ain’t been too bad this time compared to throat infection after first cycle!
Arm not great that had chemo thru, very red, sore n swollen n difficult to move unless use other hand to move it at times! Had same reaction in other arm so looks like I’ll be going down the route of a line being put in for next cycle possibly! 
See consultant on 9th then treatment on 11th all being well....
Had to go to cancer unit on Wednesday as grandson (who’s only 3) has developed chicken pox so I’m sat for 5hrs in a side room waiting for blood results to find out if I’ve caught it! Got the all clear n went home! So now I see grandson via FaceTime with my daughter or from a distance.... missing my nana cuddles that he gives me xx but not taking risk of catching anything!
Hope everyone has a good month with their treatment n we don’t get too many bad days this month xx
Sall xx
