Hello lovely people, and Welcome to the October Chemotherapy Chat! I cant believe how these months are rolling round, I hope October is as easy a month as possible for you all.
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 Septembers 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 October Everyone,
Lots of love, hugs, light and healing to each and every one of you.

Thankyou so much everyone for your messages today!! I too am home and like you @Bramble22 it went in fine So relieved for both of us, been thinking about you x! Cold cap was ok so fingers crossed it works, but if not had a wig appointment afterwards, quite fancy looking like I just stepped out of the salon everyday with no effort!
Trying to calm down now on the sofa, I think the steroids are having an effect and feel like I could talk the hind legs off a donkey at the mo 
got my goody bag of potions! So good luck for the coming days and to those just about to start . The hospital experience was actually very chilled xxxx
Glad to hear the ladies who have started treatment today are doing ok.
Northerner Margaret...your comments do make me smile 
so thank you for that!
I've been having quite a good week so guess my strength is building back up ready for round 4 (1st DTP) next Friday. I will be more than half way through chemo then (4/7 and counting!)
xx
