Hi @Amanda_StKilda,
Welcome lovely. The ladies have already given you some fantastic advice as usual. This is where the cool kids hang out. Chemo is the big bad boogeyman of the trip. Once the first one is done you will get into a bit of a routine and know when your not so fantastic days are and then you can work around it all.
Some of us get through quite ok. It's no picnic but life goes on right? I managed to work, do all my usual things, run the farm, ride my horse etc and had quite a lot of fun in amongst it. I found trying to keep my daily routine as normal as possible was very helpful.
I always recommend to take photos and videos of everything normal and fun you do along the way. That way when this is all over and you look back on this part of your life it's not all about the treatment.
All the best lovely. We are here for you. We all get it.
