Poor Emma! you have had a rough time of it! as if it isn't pleasant enough as it is. Ladies here have given some good advice. Your oncologist and oncologist nurses will be a wealth of information. For me personally I felt that what helped me the most was lots of water, day before, day of and day after - like loads of it. You will be sick of it but just lots of sips, frequently to flush your system. Also walking helped immensely. Don't also be afraid to come on here and ask questions or you should be able to ring the chemo ward or breast care nurse at any time. Little issues may pop up and you can address them as needed. Good luck and glad you have some support around you. Lisa xx
