My Chemo Cocktail

Hi Sam,I had EC every three weeks for 12 weeks and now I am half way through Taxol. I have also found the taxol much easier than the EC. Constipation being a major downer. Make sure you have a good breakfast befor chemo and keep walking. My journey began on boxing day 2012 and I thought I would be done within 4 months. Then I was told chemo would be 6 months and I was so looking forward to going back to work. I have been diagnosed with the BRCA2 mutation which has extended my time off to another 6 months after chemo as I have 3-4 months off to get fit for my double mastectomy and recon surgery. I will start radiation next year but I am hoping I will be back at work in January.My biggest hurdle was coming to terms with having no energy and not being able to do a whole lot of normal stuff. So good luck and take it easy and your recovery will be better if you dont exhaust yourself. And go for a walk everyday.Narelle xxoo
