Hi.
Well I've finished chemo (3 EC and 3 docetaxil ). Day 6 after the last one today so hopefully worst is done.
The main thing i learnt has been to try to rest if you can, give your body a chance, let people help if they can/will. Other thing is managing the meds, antisickness, laxatives (don't get constipated) and pain killlers.
It's not easy but it's doable and does come to.an end. I have my second op scheduled in three weeks time , as the margins weren't clear on the first lumpectomy. Fingers crossed it will be clear.
Xxx
