6 months of chemo

@Danielle49 Hi when I was first diagnosed 4 years ago I started chemo 4 weeks later. It was the fear of the unknown and all the stories I heard about chemo and being sick and nauseous that scared me. My first time I took my twin sister and she sat with me which helped . I was given anti nauseous tablets and steroid tablets. From the Friday after my treatment until the Sunday I felt really good and never once was sick. My middle week was always tough . I bought a wig very similar to my hairstyle ready for me. My hair started falling out in clumps on the 13th day of chemo, it had become very sore and I couldn't bare it anymore and it was thinning so my sister shaved it off . What a relief . I had chemo for 6 months and radiation for 6 weeks. I always made sure I had a positive mind although I did have good days and bad days. I used to go to my Physio after my mastectomy and cry to her for an hour and it really helped. You will get through it just don't be hard on yourself . It seems so long ago and next week I have a consultation for reconstruction . Stay positive. Di x
