Hi was diagnosed with breast cancer stage 2.8 weeks ago I am due to start chemotherapy treatment next week. I start with EC. Every 2 weeks for 8 weeks then more on to part two of chemotherapy treatment.
Welcome to the group.
If you look at the threads you will find one labelled September chemo group. You may find that interesting as the contributors are often having chemo just like you. Some will be a little further ahead. Some will be finished but have very useful tips if there are problems and there will probably be someone who starts their chemo as you do so that you can share your own experiences day by day.
If you are awake worrying...go to the Awake thread. There is often someone else ' awake' in the early hours .
Keep in touch. I hope the treatment goes well. The side effects can be tiring but the time does pass and these days many patients have a sucessful recovery.
Cyber hugs,
Karen
