I was the opposite ;) !During my 12 weeks of chemo (HER2+) I laid low and stayed away from crowded places and public transport during and also for a while after chemo as it was flu season and I didn't want the flu shot on top of all the other muck in my body. I used Dettol hand sanitiser but too much of it gives me dermatitis. My daughter buys a lovely one from Flora and Fauna which is lavender based, I think its called Dr Bronner ??, effective but expensive if you use it all the time. Good luck with everything @Ellie_Goli ! So glad you have wonderful support and a bright little boy to keep you grounded but go easy on yourself as everything will test your energy levels and sometimes it is all about you. I'm coming up to my 2 year op anniversary next week so can really relate to you being diagnosed near Christmas, enjoy it with your family !
