Finally Reaching Out
Hello to this wonderful community, I was diagnosed in early September and have been reading this website and online forum almost daily since then and for some reason didn't have the courage to join in...
Forum Discussion
Welcome @Beaglemum,
Sux to be here for sure, but great that you decided to join us. There are so many awesome people on the forum.
Yep, chemo is the big bad nasty of the trip and it's horribly scary before you start because everybody reacts so differently.
What chemo regime are you having?
I had the standard cocktail ACT. I used the cold cap and it was bloody brilliant.
One thing I like to suggest is to take a lot of photos along the way of anything fun (or even just the normal things) you do. That way when you look back at this time of your life it's not all about the treatment.
Fingers and toes crossed for you that the side effects stay calm. If they don't let them know.
All the best lovely. xoxoxox
P.s. Make sure they give you the good drugs not the cheap ones! :)
