So sorry to see you joining our exclusive little club @TamiOc .... it will still be a bit of a shock for you and your family just now .... ask away any questions that you have - as there are no silly questions xx
If you continue your 'treatment story' in this thread, it will become a bit like a 'diary' that will make interesting reading to you, in future years. ;)
Your medical team will be putting the best plan forward, for the best results for you, too xx And as @Cath62 says - not everyone gets all the side effects - and some even get NONE! So don't get 'ahead of yourself' .... just give it a good honest 'go' - and if the first one doesn't 'suit you' you can change to another one. (I'm on my 3rd one & it is the best for me!)
In between now & your surgery - consider cooking some meals & freezing them, so you don't have to
worry about cooking when you get home .... and DEFINITELY no work around the house!
You could also join the Young Women's group too - and read up on how others with young children coped with their treatment with kids .... just click on this link & hit 'join' ...

Also jump onto this link & read up on other areas in the forum that may interest you .... you can show off your pets, art & craft, gardens & even have a laugh on a couple of funny threads too!
