Still a little anxious
I have been getting up in the middle of the night last few nights worrying about next wednesday when I will start my chemo. Been rereading all your post for reassurances from my previous blog.
Sometimes still anxious but I don't have any questions. Just wanted to write down how I feel then try to get some sleep again.

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts.
I did the cleaning, exercising, walking bits. Am trying the relaxing bit now.
Will be in touch again. All the best to all.

- Tazza_AMemberHello c.yeo I had my first chemo on 22.01.2014 and like you, I was worried sick. As lovely ladies on this network told me, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. In fact, it went well and I felt fine after it. My husband went with me and we even popped into our favourite cafe for a coffee on the way home. Later that day, I felt fatigued, nauseous and had sweats but nothing the meds didn't settle. Feel free to take a look at my blog to check out the comments/suggestions given to me. They were most helpful and did certainly calm me. All the best for Wednesday. Tazza xoxo
- FedericaMemberAll the best for Wednesday C.Yeo , as many ladies said to me, waiting seems to be worst than the actual treatment. I am cleaning and exercing , and of course keep doing the daily chores, everything that help me to stop thinking about it. I take deep breaths, it seems to stop me from panicking . Take care , have a good rest and time for yourself. Big hugs , and let us know how you went. Federica xx

C.yeo..... I can feel what you feel, I am waiting for the final report this Wed, I had a 2nd surgery of margin excision on 28JAN, to see if they might find further cancer cell around, or have to proceed a further surgery of mastectomy, I tried to keep peace myself and stay calm.
I know the Team do the best to save my "breast".
Take a walk at the beach, enjoy the breeze, keep yourself positive, tell yourself - I can make it.
Keep smiling.
Xoxo
- Merlins_mumMemberNo. Had 3 of 4 TC with no 3 being last Wednesday. A bit of an old hand at it now but some days still suck! All doable with medication, support and exercise when you are up to it. :). Julie
- Robyn_WMemberI finished my chemo 6 weeks ago now,but I can still remember the anxiety before that first one! I don't know what I thought,because like you,I read all the posts on here,but I was still as nervous as all hell !!! As soon as they put that first needle in,I waited for something to happen,and of course,nothing did! When I got home,I was still waiting,as was my husband and daughter,like I was a ticking time bomb!!! And nothing happened! For most ladies,the actual chemo session itself,is a non event.Try not to worry,and remember to let us know how you go:) Cheers Robyn.xoxo
