where to start.....?
just had my 2nd 'round' of chemo today. Sat in the treatment room for approx 5 hours. A cannula in one arm, a cold cap on my head (uncomfortable - but my 'choice'), not particularly engaging nurses, and I just wanted to run out, at the least cry . I did neither. To say I'm struggling to accept this is an understatement.
sorry to be so negative. Can't see the light at the end of the tunnel yet!
Hi there, so sorry to hear you're feeling like this, but I think it's a positive that you saw it through. My chemo was 7 hours, ridiculously long time to be sitting thinking about it. Please don't apologize for being negative, we all have good days and bad days and we all take different times to come to terms with our diagnosis, sometimes we never really come to terms with it.
I wondered if having a chat with the lovely folks at the Macmillan helpline might help you. You can call them on 0800 808 0000 from 8am to. 8pm daily. They are great for advice, support or simply just to listen and of course you can come on here to chat, share or just rant if that helps.
I hope you don't struggle with too many side effects of the chemo and that you get through this stage soon. Best wishes
