Hello
I am having my Education time on Wednesday and then I am starting my Chemo on the following Tuesday which is 19th of August two days after our Wedding Anniversay we have been married 40 years...
I wish you well when you start chemo, It's a scary time, reading all the information sheets they give you. I was absolutely terrified when told I would need chemo. This network put my mind at ease and I made it through. I did 18 weeks of chemo and while it wasn't always a pleasant journey it is doable. It was never as bad as I had anticipated, they have a lot of anti-nausea medicines now and heaps of advice about how to help the niggly side effects. It is hard to put yourself first but if there is ever a good time this is it. Take care and hop onto this site whenever you have questions, there is always someone who will help you, sending big hugs to you,
Hazel xx
