First Chemo

I actually had a pamper day 2 days before starting chemo to try and relax and get myself ready for it. I had my hair cut into a short style as step one in the hair loss procedure and had a pedicure and my first ever manicure to get my nails ready. The day before I went to lunch with a friend and enjoyed my favourite foods in preparation for losing my taste buds! I was nervous on the day but was surprised at how normal I felt afterwards. I did suffer from nausea and tiredness but you get through it. I had many good days between rounds and even went away for weekend breaks to recharge the batteries before the next onslaught. Giving myself little treats helped me to feel better. Hope it goes as well as possible for you. Take care. Deanne xxx
