Hi @TerriSteve, take one day at a time. Or one hour at a time. As @kmakm says on another post, chemo is grotty but doable.
You got this, you will be ok. You just gotta ride the wave. :)
Oncol nurses are a special breed of person, they will help you through. Ask them questions too. The wonderful sisterhood online here is here for you too. :)
The other main advice I would give is try and get out on a walk every day. Some days you really have to force yourself, and you may only make it a short way. But get out, it’s good for your soul, clears your head and helps your symptoms to be milder. It also helps to pump your chemo through your tumour better. So many benefits.
Side effects, yep they suck. But they come and go, and I always tried to laugh at them. My kids thought they had a mad woman for a mum! They would be correct, haha!
Sending hugs xx
