Hi there it’s Red Robin101
Last weekend I was at my lowest point since my treatment started. Don’t get me wrong I’ve had the side effects for at least 5 days following every chemotherapy but last weekend I was extremely low and crying over ever little thing
After joining the online site and posting for reassurance I had some really nice replies and I wanna thank you all for the support
Yesterday I hit the half way mark and had my 4th session. After speaking with my consultant last week he said to drink lots of water and this should ease symptoms by helping to flush the chemo through
I’ve been drinking 3-4 bottles a day and hope this helps the effects going forward this week
Thank you all again fir just being there with helpful advice
Sending love and best wishes to everyone
