Things you wish you had know!
Hi, I am Shelli,
For those that don't know me I am 39, stage 4 bi-lateral breast cancer with mets to the bones. Fun hey! Not really. I have just been though 6 rounds of Dotax, Herceptin and Perjeta...
Just a couple of things to add to the abovementioned great suggestions:
? suck ice or icipoles whilst having chemo helps to retain your taste buds
? see your dentist before chemo & have a clean & polish & checkup then just gargle bicarb after every meal. This prevented all mouth ulcers for me.
? be prepared for the worst and hope for the best. (Staying positive is rubbish)
? bc is not a journey but an ordeal
Don't know if I'm qualified to offer any tips as I have a lot of treatment to go but I would have loved a starter kit with all this good advice direct from the source. It's been exhausting finding all the information myself.
