Hi,
This is especially for people pre-chemo and having chemo.
I started in April four cycles of EC every three weeks then four cycles if Docataxel. I still have my hair, I managed to bear the cold cap I did have side effects like most people and even now still feel wiery and head hazy but this will go in a couple of weeks.
what I have learnt from this as I was at home alone and drove everytime for my treatment even though I have a wonderful supportive family, dont spend time thinking about the side effects and the what if’s just deal with things on a daily basis or as it happens. Look after yourself ,keep busy. I wrote a daily to do list and if It didnt get done I added to the next day. I am so organised now for christmas just got radiotherapy to get through and then thats it, will then start to get my life back to as much normality as is possible and even think about going back to work.
Everyone is different and cope in different ways but I just want to re-itterate there is light at the end of the tunnel as I started this journey in January very very frightened. One major operation and chemo overwith and I am stronger and so relieved.
