Welcome to this wonderful site, although I am very sorry you are joining us. You will find all the support in the world here, from the pink sisters who have all been there, and know first hand what you are going through.
It has been a full on 4 weeks for you and the feelings of disbelief and shock at diagnosis probably still haven't faded at all. Big cyber hug to you.. Family and friends often haven't a clue what to say to help - half the time we don't either! - feeling the love sometimes has to be enough.
Between us here, we have probably experienced every form of chemo, and there are lots of stories and advice on all of them - just use the Search Box. Some of us had an easier run with chemo than others, but we all came through it and you will, too. When you are ready, post what program you are on, and I am sure you will receive many responses from us all. It is overwhelming at first, so keep a notebook handy to list everything you need, want, experience - your life will be taken over by appointments. Just take one day at a time. Don't look too far ahead. Small steps. If you have a Look Good Feel Better near you, it is really worth going - a lot of fun, and we need fun wherever possible! Stay in touch. Will be thinking of you. Michelle xx
