Feeling really low

YES , it willl get easier . sounds like you are still at early stages , be kind to yourself , eat as healthily as possible , drink lots , keep warm and remind yourself chemo is toxic stuff , but it is only for a while , and you will be surprised how fast it goes . Wash your hands a lot and keep away from people with bugs , the nights will start drawing out soon , the daffs will be out and you will hopefully start to recover , there will always a niggle of worry , but treatment is good these days , there are lots of us on here to prove it . Have you got a good nurse you can talk through your worries with ?

Thank you. I have left a message for BCN. Havent spoken to her since diagnosis last month

Hi

I finished EC x6 today the C is cyclophosamide. I start Herceptin in Jan 

Believe me when I say it does get better you have already made a good start with manageable SE .

with the fear of the unknown and feeling like a ticking time bomb that's how I felt in first cycle . So I kept a diary of symptoms day 1 treatment day . You will see a pattern  emerge then will be able to plan around it . Can get at least a week of good days prior to next cycle .

It helps to take away the fear . You know all of the SEs because they have to tell you . It doesn't mean you are going to get them all and certainly not all at once that's downright greedy !!

you will be surprised how it becomes easier as you go along 

I know we all differ but hopefully your SE remain manageable and you can get control of the fear . Do remember if you feel rough and you get a SE it means chemo kicking cancers AR**
