I’m very glad chemo is done! Sadly I ended up getting an infection under one of my ‘chemo nails’ and landed myself in hospital for 6 days with surgery to have the nail removed which was a real shame because I was feeling pretty good and looking forward to a week off everything before the surgery I just had😅
which is something to keep in my mind. Keep your nails short and clean and use hardner. Some people paint theirs but I wanted to be able to see if there was a problem - and even then I missed catching this one!
During chemo I really focussed on one day at a time, walking, yoga and trying not to look too far ahead or read too much about anything to do with the cancer. I wfh a few hours a week and was lucky to have good flexibility to do so.

Everyone’s experience is slightly different - a diary will help you so you can map out how you feel each round. Helps you to be prepared and give info to your team if you need some help. There’s lots they can do to help minimise any side effects you might get and they want you to get through with as little impact as it’s possible to have si never hesitate to ask for help with anything.
Chemo isnt fun but is absolutely doable - youve got this!
