Hi ladies,
Firstly congrats Stephanie on your prognosis. I can't tell you how good it is to hear about people who have come through the other side of treatment and are okay with IBC. Truly inspirational.
I am on docetaxel too and I know what you mean, I have only had one treatment so far but it was wicked and I am only just coming through the other side 12 days later.
Even though I am early on in the process I would reiterate to Lorraine and others that the trick I think is the one day at a time approach. I went from being a real planner career girl vibrant 41 year old to being completely stopped in my tracks. So that's meant that I now have to let that stress and worry about "what's next" go and manage what I can manage. Which means I let my partner and others help me with the household stuff or cooking. Which means I will plan for the next couple of days, or next week but I won't stress about the next phase of treatment as my phase of treatment I'm in now is chemo. So that's what I focus on: chemo.
Cancer is definitely a game changer.
