Hi, I had a SMX six weeks ago. They also removed 16 lymph nodes which all were cancerous. I will be having 4 x EC chemo at three week intervals and 4 x Paclitaxel at two week intervals. This all starts on the 28th July. Any advice to get myself prepared? I don't want to use the cold cap as it does not bother me to lose my hair. Going to my hairdresser to have a short pixie cut.
So any advice to prepare myself would be great. Onwards and upwards
Hi, I had different chemo to yourself but this blog post I wrote might help, good luck
