1st chemo was hard going

Hi. Sorry chemo/injections affected you so much. I feel we can only trust what is offered to us, believe they're doing their best for us too. Hopefully you'll start to feel better soon. I get my 2nd FECT next Tuesday, plus the injections at home. Been lucky with very few side effects so far and no sign of hair loss yet. All the best. Jo x

Hi, sorry your first chemo was hard - just take one day at a time - you will get through it - I know it won't feel like it at the moment!  Half way through my chemo  I had a MRI scan - & it had shrunk !!

I have just finished my chemo treatment number 8 - it wasn't always easy - but looked forward to my good week  & made plans to meet various friends!

I am due to have surgery next month then radiotherapy!

All the best for your next chemo !

That's a tough first experience, and I am guessing the team may decide to adjust things a little for your next one, it's worth asking about to find out how they are planning to avoid such an experience with treatment #2.

How are you now?

Feeling a bit better today, it’s just all the uncertainty in this process. Didn’t know what to expect. Hope your ok x

Ok I will say to BN on my next visit. I’m feeling a bit better this morning. But still worried with this tumor inside me. It’s just so tough my emotions are all over the place and to anxious is it shrinking x

What kind off surgery are you having, my minds wondering all over? As my tumor is big 7cm andI will it shrink and I won’t it out . I’m having chemo then surgery . Suppose my surgery depends on what size my tumor will be. Just got told if chemo shrinks it and then lumpectomy but not sure. Things can change. How are you feeling after all your  chemo? Just feel it takes it out you. All the best to you x

Hi Andrea50

I'm so sorry to hear that you ended up in hospital and on Mother's Day of all days.

Hope you feel better soon.

Best wishes

Hi Andrea

Unfortunately I have to have a mastectomy - I have opt for immediate recon  - but not sure atm !

The chemo will shrink your tumour  - mine had shrunk !!

What chemo are you on & how many treatments are you having ?

I am good atm - still getting over some of the side effects  but otherwise feeling fine !!

Hope all goes well with your next chemo!!
