New to this.....

I have a similar story to yours. I'm 36 with four kids under 8. I had a grade 3, ER+,HER2+, lymph neg cancer. I did six rounds of FEC-D plus continuing Herceptin until November this year, followed by 7 weeks of radiation. I flew to perth every three weeks for chemo and would fly home the day after. It was a busy time and with running a household, helping run a business and doing all the normal after school stuff with kids - life was flat out as ever. I coped reasonably well with chemo and it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I had imagined it to be, although I did get some of the unwanted side affects but it was all manageable and more importantly make sure you tell your oncologist so they can adjust meds, it can make all the difference. For me the physical treatment is all common sense, getting my head wrapped around it has been more difficult but I'm finding it easier as time goes by and I find my kids the greatest distraction that I need. They know I have BC but we have kept the details very basic for them, they know I go to the hospital for medicine and I answer all there questions as they arise. I'm happy to chat if you ever need an ear to bend and I wish you all the best with your treatment, good luck. Tash xx
