hi All
So I got a call from hospital today and my treatment begins on Thursday (10/02/22) I'm both nervous and excited to get started! I shall keep the page updated with my progress. Thanks to everyone for all the advice and support. You all played a big part in getting me to this stage and keep my sanity.
Thankyou.

Hi Angela
So pleased you have finally got your start date-I know you’ve been chomping at the bit to get on with this! Just a couple of days to wait now and be started on the road to getting rid of this. Definitely keep us posted as you go along..it’s so helpful for other people starting out to hear about it. xx
Hi Sarah
Yes il definitely post on here.. I know it helped me knowing how other people were handling their treatment. So it gives you a better understanding of what to expect.
Thanks again

Hi Angela
Like Snobird, your experience of treatment will be current and so useful for everyone. Mine was a long time ago, but I still have some handy hints and tips up my sleeve for anyone going through side effects. I had no-one to guide me apart from my team, no other ladies with actual experience so I had to learn as I was going along! By the time I joined support groups etc, my treatment was already over. xx
Hi Sarah
How awful that you went through all that without the support that we all get on here! But your experience and knowledge is totally invaluable to all us newbies. So Thanku

It was my own fault really, I never even thought about it, just tried to get on with everything. Never even told people I had cancer. But it would have been helpful at the time to speak to others going through the same things. Still, I learned a great deal, and can hopefully pass some of that on now. xx
Ohhh 479132 I'm so weirdly excited to get started. Thanku so much I really couldn't have git this far without this app and all you lovely people..I will be eternally grateful to you all xx

I didn’t use this forum whilst doing treatment, I’m not sure why. I think I buried my head in the sand and didn’t want to know more than I did at the time. On reflection, I should have!
hope you are feeling ok

Same as me Jen. I just wanted to get through every day one day at a time. When I see how useful it is to talk, I feel I should have. I did once I had my recurrence, though not here. xx
I'm not even sure if I stumbled in here through FB or was it advertised in the info books given to me by my specialist nurse? Either way i can honestly say it's been a life saver for me..I buried my head in the sand for a year suffering symptoms ..but I was in a bad relationship and could hardly function! Once it was done I went to gp and..here we are. So even though I suffered from narcissistic abuse for 5 years! In the end he did me a favour coz I never would have went about my problems had u still been with him ..I'm strong enough to deal with this alone now so my heartfelt thanks goes out to all the community champions plus althe individual survivors who helped me get this far
