Hi Janette,
I started Chemo last August for 4.5months. I am now 6 months post chemo and never dreamt I'd be so well in every respect. It is frightening absolutely! I found once I did the first infusion, I knew what to expect and you take it from there. I went in with a super attitude to it, I know alot of Women cope so so well. I found it hard as I was drug sensitive worst luck. But can I say...take a deep breath, get through the first one and then you'll have an idea how you will be. Communicate alot with the Staff they will be your rock. Depends how you go, for most of mine I didnt take anyone, but for about 4 of them I did and it was a lovely distraction. The best advice I can give is, just go with it, don't pre-empt or make plans, just honor yourself all the way. I had to stop work but it felt great to put me first above it. Step at a time..and I promise you, you'll do better than you ever thought you could. You've got this!
Hugs
