Hi Rok , I hope you have something lovely on your 50th birthday planned as well as your oncologist appointment.
I’ve just written my story so far on my profile too.
I’m hoping you don’t have to wait too long to start. The waiting is hard isn’t it. I don’t think any of like the unknown.
Have as good a birthday as you can, stay positive and take care x
Thank you xx I’m trying to do lots of nice things for the whole month of may to make the most of it before I start chemo. We’re going away for the weekend of my birthday so I’m going to pretend it’s the day after my oncology appt!
Waiting is truly terrible though I’m finding the waiting for chemo more do-able than the waiting for operation results which was terrifying!
Have you started your chemo yet?

I am due to start on 9th May 3x EC , followed by 3x Docetaxel plus Herceptin- 3 weekly as long as bloods behave.
I am also trying with the cold cap and see how it goes.
I agree waiting for results from surgery was awful
Thats brilliant you have lots of lovely things planned throughout May. Enjoy your weekend away, definitely your prerogative to change your birthday.
My birthday was early in this journey, so I’m having a second one after chemotherapy and radiotherapy-
Trying to have lovely things to look forward to - stay positive x

I'm nearly at end of chemo but want to join this thread to help anyone just starting out. Huge hugs to everyone. You got this
