@Danielle49 the first think my Oncologist & the Breast Care Nurse told me was becareful what you look at on the internet, only go to reputable websites & also check how old the information is. Some of the garbage on there defies belief & is 20-30 years old.
I had 6 cycles of AC Chemo & coped fine though, everyones experience & coping mechanisms are different. The only real side effect I had was of course the hair loss but there was a silver lining to that as well - do you know how easy it is to get ready for work without washing & styling your hair, you just put it on?? I had a great wig very close to my own hair colour & style & nobody at work even realised I was wearing a wig.
I kept working full time, chemo in the morning & work in the afternoon, i kept running. For me, it was nothing like I expected or had seen on TV with people hugging toilet bowls... I had nausea medication in my bag but to this day it remains unopened.
PS & yes...
