Hi Megan,

I am going to "Look Good Feel Better" on Monday, I find it all very daunting, but  will scan the books which is a good idea,thanks for the hint :)

cheers

Hi Robyn,

I can relate to your wariness in reading the kit: I too felt a bit daunted in the early days. But it is invaluable. What I did in the end was scan the topics and content, so that I knew where to find something as and when I needed it. Limiting how much I had to absorb a bit at a time helped me stay alert, but not over-anticipate what might lie ahead and that has worked well for me.

I'm not sure where you are, but if a 'Look Good, Feel Better' workshop is available in your area I can highly recommend it - it's lots of fun and you meet some really lovely people who are all walking a similar path.

cheers

Megan

Hi Karen,

I have not been able to bring myself to read the books in the kit but will do so today. I am taking my husband & daughter in law with for support. Thank you so much for your feed back.

Take care,

Robyn xx

Hi Rowdy,

Thank you so much for your feedback, I am taking my husband & daughter in law with me, & will take a notebook with me as well. It is just so hard not knowing what to expect but I know I will get through this...

Take care

Robyn

Hi Robyn,

I agree with Rowdy, take someone with you. Also qestions in the ebc gide book from the my journey kit are a good starter.  It is info overload finding ot about chemo.  All side effects are mentioned, bt not everyone experiences them.

All the best,

Karen xx

Hi Robyn try and take someone with you as another set of ears is always good. My husband and daughter came with me and our daughter asked things that I wouldn't have thought of, A note pad is always a good idea to start a list of questions now as you think of them. The whole process is very overwhelming but you will get there.

One last thing no question is a dumb one this is your time to ask, take care x
