Hi

I was due to start FEC-T on Thursday at 9am but due to my husband having a stomach bug was unable to! I had been building my self up to stepping into the unknown but when I found out i couldn't start I nearly skipped out of the unit and back to work! I have just delayed things for a week! 

I am now due to start on Thursday at 11am, I have opted to try the cold cap not sure how long that will last as I tried it on without being switched on and it felt very weird! But you dont know unless you try! 

Having really strange moods I cant describe, generally feeling low! Dont think a lot of my friends and family get how it feels as they keep telling me your cancer has been removed  your lymph nodes were not affected and yes I know all of that but faced with all this treatment which I keep being told is preventative doesn't help! And the fear of a return! Everyone is telling me to be positive! 

I'm so trying be positive ! ..I'm off to the gym this morning, booked yoga for Monday and am still working ! 

Does anyone have any tips to help!

Thanks xx

    Hi Mella 

    Sounds like you are doing all the right things, keeping busy is helpful especially if it’s with nice activities that are good for your wellbeing.

    You may find people around you don’t get it, and they may say things that irritate you or even make you angry or upset. This is always difficult, they have no idea what it’s like or how you are feeling. Don’t doubt yourself, all your feelings and emotions are valid. Unless someone has had the experience themselves they really can’t comment! There are plenty examples of this on the forum sadly it is not unusual.

    Good luck with your treatment, stay around on here and let us know how you get on. We get you!
