So I'm starting Carboplatin/Paclitaxel on 10th April, 6 sessions for adjuvant treatment. I had Cisplatin last year and the only issues I had were treated. 

This time around I feel very anxious, about the side effects, my body's ability to cope, how I'll cope mentally. I am due to start sessions with a psychologist on 16th April but could've done with them before starting treatment. 

Even my CNS today at clinic told me to prepare myself for feeling like my ass has been kicked. Which I appreciate her trying to prepare me. She and my other CNS team have been amazing support through my 2 1/2 year journey, so she knows I like honesty.

Any tips you lovely lot can give to ease this part of my journey please
