Hi Vicky
I'm so sorry you're on this journey thst really no one wants to be on. I had my first round of FLOT at thend of September 2022 and all I felt was highly anxious. The treatment was not easy but my son was my guiding light. I focused on him and watching him grow up that got me through the darkest of days. What is your treatment plan? There are a number of supports out there- various charities around cancer and of course Macmillan. This forum certainly provides support for all of us.
Take care
All the best Vicky.
I'm 40 with the same diagnosis including mets to liver. I finished 6 cycles of CAPOX in April.
If you are on the same regimen, then it is tough but focus on the extra time its hopefully giving you. That and my 5 and 1 year old kept me going.
