Chemo

Chemo isn't easy and everyone reacts differently.  You are going through so many emotions and any medication will only confuse these feelings.  If the feelings of sadness get worse be sure to seek professional help or find someone you can talk to.
It is so hard to gauge how you will feel with the following chemo  treatment but try not to think ahead.  Treat each day as it comes.
Depending on how you feel do things that make you happy -  but nothing that compromises your immunity.  As mentioned above try and drink lots of water to flush out your system. 
There is so much good advice on this thread.  Good luck

It's OK to feel sad @MMAN
You wouldn't wish this stuff on your worst enemy. Even when treatment goes well, it's a huge departure from normal life.
The trick is being self aware enough to know the difference between being sad and being depressed enough to be in trouble. Not easy, and sometimes we need some help with that. Mxx

Definately recommend seeing a psychologist.
 I saw one who specialised in cancer related distress and she helped me immensely.
My GP gave me a mental health plan.
Take care🌺

@MMAN  might be time to think about all this a bit differently so you don't feel sad. Treatment is so great these days and survival rates are just amazing.

Maybe get some support through a counsellor. It's alot to process and some people are ok about it all and some people need a bit if help to get through it. It's great to talk here as we all understand but you have to reach out to some professionals if you are struggling too much. 

Try to go for walks, be busy with a little project just for you, for example treat yourself to lots of moisturiser and spend time caring for yourself. Just do so things you like and turn this around to focusing on getting better. You will get better. 

Start with something small and build on that every day. Gratitude is another thing which really helps. Try writing down 3 things you are grateful for. Could be as simple as I am grateful for my morning coffee. 

Wishing you all the best in your treatment and recovery. ❤💐

Well done on finishing your first round of chemo ..... keep your fluids up big time to help 'flush it out' of your system ....  and while you are feeling 'good' - try& continue doing stuff that you really enjoy doing ...

Hubby is on permanent chemo & found the first couple of sessions to be 'hard' .... then he will plateau & we now have a pattern to follow, particularly after changing to a new chemo in Dec that has whacked him a bit more.  :(   He is fine for 3-4 days after each infusion, then on about the 5th day, he is VERY tired for 48hrs & may not feel like eating or drinking much - so we try & get his nutrition in, in those early days.  By day 6, he has usually bounced back again & eating again & got his energy back too.  

Re socialising - have a chat with your Onc re your immune system, and ask when it is 'safe' to socialise?  Your blood counts may be low at some point & you don't want to catch anything from anyone xx

Do you have a breast care nurse or GP to chat with, re feeling sad?  They can help organise counselling, to give you coping mechanisms ...... or ring the Helpline (the phone number is in the Blue Banner at the top of the page.) Keeping physically active (if you can) is good for both body & soul .... even if just walking xx.

Take care xx 

I didn’t feel any better or worse after each treatment, although I had different side effects from A/C to Taxol. As I kept working and doing normal things, I didn’t give much thought to whether I felt differently or not. Most people will say that keeping busy - whether it’s work, exercise, hobbies or whatever - is worthwhile during chemo. Some actively think about the chemo doing its work, and feel a bit better every time! Anything that lifts the spirits is worth doing. If you concentrate on feeling sad, chances are you may feel worse.
