1st chemotherapy
Well I had my 1st chemotherapy on Friday 9th and it did not go as I expected. I was at the hospital for approx 5 hours and access to my portacath was difficult due to the swelling but they did manage...

Hi Kathryne, It sounds like you have had an absolutely dreadful time. I hope & pray that things will get easier for you. At least you will get the best care being in hospital & I hope that you can take comfort in knowing they will be able to monitor you & treat you accordingly.
In my 1st 3 week period I found it very difficult to eat food & I felt so delicate & a normal meal would seem to take me about 1-2 hours to get through as I could only eat tiny bits at a time, but eating became easier after that. I just hope you may get some improvement. I wish I could be more helpful to you. I found reading some of the blogs of others going through the same treatment quite helpful. Another website is the breastcancer.org site, where you can check out sites of similar diagnoses & treatments & pick up helpful tips to get you through the chemo.
best wishes, Vicki
