I'm new here

Hi Sue,

I am a bit of an oldie here who pops in from time to time.  Starting chemo can be very nerve racking. My cancer was triple negative so the opposite of yours, however chemo is chemo no matter the diagnosis. I think going for orientation where you are having chemo can be a big help.  They will give you all sorts of tips.  Everyone copes differently.  I thought I was going to be able to have chemo on Friday and be back at work on Monday...However I found it too hard.  I do only work part time and I found if I took the week off after chemo I was OK for the other two weeks.  As I said though we are all different and you will find that out. some can work all the time, some not at all.  It doesn't matter though, as long as you do what's right for you.

I wish you all the best.
