First Day of Chemo
I've been wanting to post in this group just to introduce myself and have a look over some previous posts, but I feel this has been the first time I have really been able to stop and think about tomo...

Hi Linda,
I could relate to what you are saying about your kids and just wanting to keep things a bit normal for them. I am 42 and have 2 boys around the same ages. I have finished chemo now but was not on AC but TCH. The side effects were minimal for me but it got to be a bit of an endurance test towards the end (tired and emotional and over it) I am due for surgery tomorrow-lumpectomy if all goes well.
I opted for cool caps to save my hair which has worked relatively well so I can't really offer you any advice on headgear either. I just wanted to touch base really because I read your post and related with being in a similar age group and family situation.
i quit work but some people on this site have managed to keep going. I wasnt emotionally fit enough to manage. I guess you don't really know until you start.
I hope everything goes ok for you tommorrow. The waiting is so awfuln isnt it? Good luck. Tanya
