If you knew then, what advice would you give to someone about to start Chemo? Im in Tassie
Hi everyone. Sorry for the long post in advance..... sooo this is my story. Im 32 years old. I was talking in bed with my boyfriend and went to lay on my back and something pinched in my right breast....
Everyone does chemo differently partly because chemo types differ but also because we are all individuals. My experiences on chemo may not be yours. For me it was brutal. I would be not great for 10 to 12 days after chemo - I had a 3 weekly cycle. Others manage to work right through.
Find a a good nurse they are invaluable in answering questions providing advice on managing side effects and are great sounding boards. My oncologist has a nurse and she has been my lifesaver on many a day for my “dumb” questions, sorting out meds, advising me on what to take to deal with my latest side effect etc.
