Just diagnosed
Hi
I've just been diagnosed with IBC and have my first chemo treatment tomorrow.
Finding it all a bit daunting and feeling very alone.
Just thought I would try and touch base with people who have ...
Hi
The first one feels very daunting - but you will be ok. The thought is probably worse than the actual chemo. Not sure what you are having - I have had TC and coped reasonably well with the after affects, mainly continuing to work.
Hope someone is going with you to sit with you, drink lots of water, keep warm and look after yourself. I found several days later I hit the wall and needed to sleep alot.
Good luck - you will get there. Several months ago that was me having my first chemo - on tuesday I had my last chemo. So good to be on the other side - you too will get there.
I am sure you will hear from other ladies - stay on this site for support and ask questions.
