It’s almost here and I am ready now. I am ready to do battle with this horrible cancer! Plus I have packed my bags and got my snacks organised. The hospital and Focus charity (in the hospital) were great on Monday when I went for my pre- chemo appointment. Everyone is so nice and supportive and there is plenty of information.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not breezing through this. My partner and I had a terrible weekend. I was told my appointment was definitely with the consultant, not a member of the team. The consultant had previously said he would not see me again unless there was something serious, and as I had not heard the results of my CT scan a few weeks back, I convinced myself I was now at least stage 3. Very scary, but in the event I saw a lovely CNS and there were no unexpected issues. Phew!
I have decided to not have the cold cap. I don’t want any additional pain or discomfort on top of what I’m already going to get. Other people will just have to put up with seeing me in a wig / turban!
The next worry will be the side effects. This journey is definitely all about jumping from one thing to worry about to the next!
I hope the chemo goes well for you.
We are here if you need anything.

Glad it went ok for you.
I had a red face for the first couple of days with each cycle- I believe it is to do with the paclitaxel.
