I had my first chemo (FEC) on Monday and was really scared, but the oncology nurses and my husband were fantastic! I took the calm-you-down pill and it helped a lot. I also stayed in overnight for extra hydration. Came home Tuesday feeling 'hungover' which has eased now, I just feel tired. So far it's not as hard to deal with as I had imagined.
I am lucky as I have great family and friends supporting me so I can rest up.
You sound like you are going in with a great attitude and by the look of your profile pic you have a lovely family to give you plenty of TLC.
Good Luck and keep smiling!

PS - Even though I am so tired I still can't sleep through the night, so I get up have a herbal tea and read for a bit.
Good luck for tomorrow Shaz.I hope you put laxatives on your chemist list! If you get to the unit and feel anxious,you can always ask for a calm-you-down-pill. It sure helped me because I was ready to do a runner.Seems like you are well prepared and also very brave.You had such a rotten time of it with surgery so hopefully,you'll sail through chemo.

All the very best Sharon for your first chemo and for the rest of your treatment. We are here for you.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one to buy out the chemist. Hope you don't need any of that stuff.
