Yes I am proud of you. Remember that this week will probably be your worst when side effects will show themselves but I hope you don't get any too badly. The week after you will feel a bit better and you know you'll loose your hair which is very confronting (I cried like a baby) but you'll have your lovely head ware. It's still a big shock when it happens though. Your immune system will be reaching its nadir (lowest point) during your second week so be aware of possible infection, this is when you'll definitely need a thermometer Jodie. Check your temperature regularly. You'll find that you'll feel pretty normal third week just in time for your next chemo (she says smiling). But you'll know what to expect next time and you'll be just fine.
Sending you a big hug.
