Hi Guys

I was diagnosed nearly a year ago. Have had 3 surgeries. Had chemo EC and Docetaxel but had a bad reaction to treatment. Also had a reoccurrence in the same breast prior to my mastectomy. Just complete my radiotherapy and will be starting carboplatin on its own within a fortnight.

Feeling a little anxious about chemo since the last lot didn't go so well. Has anyone had carboplatin on its own? How did you find it?

Thanx

Hi Barley

I was really lucky in that I haven't had any real side effects from the radiotherapy. My breast cancer buddy had suggested aloe Vera creams. So maybe an aloe Vera lip balm might help. Also stay really hydrated is important. I hope this helps and she gets over this period soon. X
