First day of chemo

Hi Toni,

It is scary isn't it. I finished my 4 rounds of chemo a few weeks ago but it's all still  fresh in my mind. I remember looking around the room on the first day thinking "What am I doing here with all these poor cancer patients?" I still have to remind myself sometimes that I am one of them.

But I found, as Annie has so far, that the chemo wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I felt exhausted for a couple of days after each treatment and had a few other yucky symptoms but nothing dramatic and they all passed fairly quickly.

Aim to eat healthily and exercise a litte, but go easy on yourself. Allow yourself to rest and eat things that you feel like as well. Even if your symtoms are mild it's a tough thing to go through emotionally as well as physically. So take care of yourself and let your friends and family take of you too. Good luck Toni, I hope your treatment goes smoothly.

Janet.
