Thanks Kathy for you message and your honest and revealing comments. Must have been very hard for you and I'm glad things are improving and you're learning to live with it.

Emotionally I dealing with it quite well but the nausea and associated side affects with the chemo are what are getting me down a bit. i have a great support network but at times it doesn't seem enough. It is as you've said life changing and I am only beginning to see this.

I learning slowly though! Yes it is a scary process but many have been their and "m glad that I have this site to get advice and vent when I need to.
In regards to the sweats and hot flushes I do wear cotton and I'm learning to drink more water and cutting down on hot drinks! I used to enjoy a wine as well but haven't the taste for it anymore which is probably a good thing. There will a big party at the end of all this, I'm sure!!
Anyway thanks for the great advice - great to hear how others have fared!
Look after yourself and keep in touch,
