Next Friday

I've  just completed chemo for early breast cancer. I am still having ongoing treatment due to it being a her2 but side effects of that so far are minimal. During treatment I felt flat and had some symptons that made me miserable at times but most were sorted and it was just tiredness more than anything...but that more so towards the end of treatment. Receiving the chemo isn't a problem it is just for the next week. I gained quite a bit of weight during chemo...mainly due to my dramatic exercise drop and changes in eating patterns. Having a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction prior chemo contributed to that as there were many things I just couldn't do for a while. You are stronger than you realise. You will cope. It's  not fantastic to have chemo but we want the best outcomes and for most of us that includes the need for chemo and radiation. Take care, big breathe and soldier on. Kath x
