Hi @Suzie82
I was also diagnosed before Christmas and have started chemo already.
I feel what you are going through and it’s a really crappy time.
Things I found helpful were to try and take things one day or treatment at a time. I’ve also found reframing the treatment process helps get me through. So I see chemo as a good medicine and a positive experience that is helping me get better. I’m going to try and have some fun with wigs and changing up my look a bit. Also looking forward to getting my free makeup kit. Next chemo I’m taking a self care kit, headphones and Netflix to try and relax a bit.
It sounds crazy but these are the crappiest days. Once I started treatment I began feeling a bit more in control. I also found these groups to be a great help when I felt a bit wobbly. I also found lots of support once I let family and friends know.
Feel free to reach out and best of luck with everything. You’ve got this. xo
