Ask away! Sorry you find yourself here, it's always a huge shock but there are many experiences you can tap into on this site. Everyone's diagnosis is a bit different, what you can expect in terms of treatment varies and how you react to treatment can vary a lot too. But we all understand the stages of coming to terms with this beast, and someone will know just how you feel. So ask anything you like. Sometimes it's the questions we feel a bit sheepish about that really need to be answered soon. No-one pretends chemo isn't daunting, but some find it easier than others, it's hard to know until you start. But most of us got through it, and some like me, were sufficiently well to work through. It's also finite, it will end. When you are starting, it seems like you will be doing this for ever. But the half way point is sometimes quicker than you imagine, and then you are on the home run! Best wishes.
