Yes. Telling people is the hardest. I wish people would gossip more so I didn't have to tell everyone myself and comfort them! I've got the spiel down pat and quickly change the subject if I can.
things I've learnt:
i post to a blog so that I didn't have to constantly talk about it with everyone. Otherwise I get 10 texts asking me how I am going. I post all the boring details to it as no one takes it in when you tell them. People can read my blog or not. But they know it is there.
depends which chemo you are on. AC gave me morning sickness but I never vomited. I worked through my pregnancies and chemo was no worse than that. Had a few tired days but most days I was walking 1 hour a day.
Paclitaxel is much much easier. Nothing to worry about.
of course people react differently to chemo but I'm hoping you react even better than me. I feel like I'm faking it half the time. I still go out, exercise. Just I'm bald ;-)
