Chemo looming
Anybody out there?
I will be starting chemo on 5th feb and just like to chat to anybody about their experience. Will be on 3 FEC and 3 docetaxel on 3 weekly cycles.
Terrified of needles so visite...

Welcome to the website, I am having the same chemo treatment you mentioned. I have finished FEC and had my first docetaxol yesterday. Every thing Deanne and Robyn W have said is spot on, it's all doable. Difficult at times, but doable. They had trouble with my veins very early on and I now have a picc in my arm, so everytime I go, I just get hooked up. I was offered a Port but chose a picc. If you really like swimming, a port is the way to go as you can't get a picc wet. If your oncologist doesn't think you need either, maybe wait and see. Anytime you have a question or a worry, hop on this website and all information and advice that I have received has been invaluable. Wish you well with the process, take care,
