First Blog
Hi,
I never written a blog before, I guess there is always the first time so here it goes...
I'm 36 yrs old, I was born in Taiwan, lived there for 9 years, my family and I move to NZ and lived there for 7 years and moved to brisbane since then.
I'm married and have a 4 year old boy and a cavalier.
I got diagnosed with brest cancer in August, had a right mastectomy and currently in my 2nd week of my first chemo treatment.
First round is ok so far apart from the first day when the nurses trying to put the IV in my hand. I never liked needles.. I told the nurse I'm nervous, maybe that gave her pressure..? Took them 3 goes to put the IV in. It was so painful and I was in tears...
The reason I join this network is to find someone who is on the same boat and maybe share their experience with me.
One of my questions I have is about the chemo treatment. Does the treatment gets easier down the track or is the first treatment the easiest? I know everyone react differently but I want to know how much preparation I need to do before the next round.
Thanks!
