Due to start chemo in one week

Hi LucVia, I'm sorry you are going through this especially with such a young family. I worried about having chemo and if it was really worth it. I made the decision to go ahead because I didn't want to find out it had come back and regret I didn't do everything I could to rid myself of cancer the first time round. There is no guarantee it won't come back anyway, no matter what I do...but I'll have no regrets I didn't try. I've had one dose of chemo and due for my second dose this Friday . I have to say I have only had one day I felt unwell. I haven't slept as well as I would like but that's about the worst of it for me. I have tried to exercise everyday I can...usually a walk and sometimes a short run. I was wary of all the negative stories about chemo but can't really complain about my experience . Perhaps you will cope with it too. Take each day as it comes. My hair fell out and I shaved it completely ...to me it's only hair and will grow again. I know I'm waffling a bit but the bottom line is I found chemo not too bad but you have to do what is right for you with all the information you need to get your answer. It is the fear of the unknown that causes the tension. I'm sure there will be other ladies with far more wisdom than mine that will help you decide. Just be happy with your decision. Sue
