10 Days In....

Hello SamxRusty,

 It can take a while..quite a while to adjust to all the changes, emotional and physical. Did the oncologist say you may have early menopause? If so are you having flushes etc?  The chemo effect may be harder to fight back, after a few treatments, so try and go with how you are feeling..ie rest and gentle exercise when you feel a bit better. You may feel worse before you feel better. Keep hope alive that the treatment is doing what it is meant to do..

Time passes..so go with it now. Plenty of time to go again later.. I know I wanted to get back to what I normally  I did before Bc, but i think I did too much initially. If I had my time again, I would have taken a year, at least to get over things..

Then again, do you ever get " over it " ? It may be there the rest of your life;  maybe move to the background somewhat, but be a part of who you become afterwards, on your journey through life. The emotions.. denial, shock, sadness, joy, bargaining, anger...acceptance....can be a roller coaster as well.. 

I think I nibbled on ginger nut biscuits at times..homebrand ones..  I did not get too ill on chemotherapy, and my hair " thinned" a lot but did not go completely. The last one I felt a  " queasy " with. 

Treatments are tailored these days, and have probably changed  a bit, since I went through.

Try and do something " nice " each day, even if it is only small...marvel at the winter sunset, listen to a favourite song or music, buy some pretty flowers to appreciate.. try and be calm..if only for a short period.

Keep those fingers crossed.. All the best Kathy. OOXX
