Early Christmas present...NOT

I'm 7 weeks out from bilateral mastectomy with beckers expanders/ implants in. It's amazing how you just get over one thing and another crops up. I have been given the date for my 1st chemo...20th dec. I'm being positive and hoping it won't affect me too much and I can enjoy Christmas Day with my fantastic husband, kids and their partners. I'm hoping you all get to spend a wonderful day with wonderful people around you. Sue

    Thank you for your replies. I am taking everything as it comes.When I feel well...great.When I don't feel well...I take it easy. My attitude has become....I can't change my diagnosis so I deal with each step as it comes to change the outcome. I think I've almost detached myself from the enormity of the situation...whatever it takes to get through. Christmas Day will be a great day no matter what happens...my family laughs that I'm always injured or sick at Christmas but have outdone myself this year! I wish you all the best of health and happiness .

    I hope you are well enough to enjoy your Christmas. Just to give you some hope. I had dinner last night with some lovely BCNA members and one lady was at day four after her first chemo. She was tired but quite well. So I do hope this will be the same for you. Enjoy the day and accept all the help that you can. Be kind to yourself. Merry Christmas Love Janey xxx

    As Hazel says we are all different with the effects of Chemo but I am sure having family around will help you feel better. Wishing you all the best for your Chemo and for Christmas. Take care. Deanne xxx

    Hi Sue, everyone is so different with chemo effects, so I am hoping you are well on xmas day, so you can spend some quality time with your family.  I am due on News Years Eve for my 3rd treatment. Not that I will be partying anyway:) Hope all goes well for you, take care,
