Introduction

Hi Sandi I am really new to all this I call ' nightmare ' but getting on with it with all my power and gutso. I feel like I am in denial and just going along with everybody else as in Drs etc telling what to do. But in all this despair I am still ME and will continue to be the outgoing brave healthy woman I am was and will always be I have had two rounds of the chemo you are about to have and I am sort of fine, well today I went for a forty minute walk did some some gardening then I have light hand weights etc and did some exercises, today is a good day. The weekend I was quite weak but that's to be expected as that's when your blood levels etc drop. My first dose had me sleep for almost 60 hours I could not believe it. I was like I had taken some massive sleeping tablets, but sleep is good. I felt sick for quite a few days but the tablets really help. I drink lots of water to get everything out of my system ASAP. not sure if it works like that but I feel good from doing it. I felt like I could feel the chemo going thru my intestines bit painful, but that could just be me I am not going to have radiotherapy as I will go the full mastectomy and immediate boob job I don't want to do any of this but what is a girl supposed to do This is the first time I have ever responded or commented on this site or any for that matter, I have been lurking and reading in the background. I mean where on earth do you pick up the courage to start telling your/ our story, I find it all overwhelming. So I feel I have been pretty lucky ( not a walk in the park ) with my chemo so far, it's hard to say how anyone will react. But they say move around if you can to get those awful drugs flowing around do their bit and leave your body. PS I just turned 52 had a lumpectomy late November, I found the lump ( lucky me ) grade 3 stage 1 fast growing little mongrel but didn't spread. Waiting on Bracs results. Are you an active person sporty etc, I am and I can't wait to hit the gym again, Ask me anything I will reply Hope I didn't bore you Tania xxxxxxx
