Hi I'm new here. Due to start chemo on Monday and not really knowing what to expect is worrying me. I'll be on Paclitaxel weekly. Have been on Palbociclib and Letrozole for 3 months but not working
I’m at the end of chemo. You get through it. Make sure you tell your team of you feel unwell or have any side effects you feel you can’t cope with. They have support a d medication for everything. My motto was to take it a day at a time. If I was a littlE unwell I didn’t do much that day, if I felt well I did more. You will be surprised at how you can deal with it. It’s not like 20 years ago, they help as much as possible and everybody supports you through it. Good luck. I think the wait is worse than the actual treatment
