Morning after first chemo

Hi everyone,

Well first Chemo done, feeling very ordinary today my face is glowing like a Christmas tree, glad for these steroids for the next few days. So long as this horrible stuff does the job it's not a bad price to pay is it.  I know a lot of you have been down this road, so I guess once we start treatment it hits home, because from the time you are diagnosed it seems forever before you get started on the path to get rid of this crappy cancer.

I also went to my hairdresser, had no.4's and got some gorgeous scarves from Hat House (highly recommend ).

Hope everyone is having a lovely day.

 

Cheers Jen ?? ?? x

    One step at a time Jen that's the best way.  I've done mascetomy expander 4 ACs and now 3 taxol so 9 more chemos for me (countdown) then radio 3 months allow yourself the occasional I'm losing it day ( I do that once a week!) and countdown xxxx hugs

    Hi Jenny, it is a tricky time. Just take it 1 appointment at a time, and it will pass quicker, and be less daunting. Sounds like you have some lovely new scarves to wear, so that's good. Sending you a huge cuddle, Trace ??????

    Hi Jenny , one step closer to finishing chemo and being clear of those b@#$% cancer cells. I've just had my fourth TAC which includes Docetaxel and my hair started coming out on day 17 of the first round. My kids then shaved it off.  not sure if yours will be the same. I got a great wig from the cancer council. People keep telling me how they like my new hair style and how lucky I was not to lose my hair!!

    Good luck with the rest of the chemo,
