If you need any extra tips, our Chemo Tips Page is something you may find very helpful, and if you find a tip which helped you just reply to share with others who are also going through chemo.

If you need to refer back a month here is a link to The May Discussion which will be being locked to replies soon.
Remember, you're never alone, you have us! while going through this tough part of your runaway mine cart ride.
Don't forget all cancer patients are entitled to a 5 Year Prescription Fee Exemption Card from your GP for meds to help with any side effects.
Fingers crossed for minimal side effects and maximum impact, G n' J
