Thanks Michell, yes thursday was certainly a big day, as I was given my treatment plant for Chemo and Radio. The first three courses 21 days apart fluorouracil, Epirubicin and Cyclophosphamide, what a mouthfull, scarey for someone who doesn't even like taking a headace tablet. I have never had serious illness so no need for pharmacuticles of any kind so i am quite unnerved. After 3 treatments I have 3 more treatments of some other chemo therepy and then 60 days of radio. Such an agressive treatment for my bc even though no nodes were involved? My local Gp was also surprised, I have not seen the genetist and will not for a while, so I am left wondering? I havent received any journey packs or such only the book on early bc I am hoping they will organize stuff on my first chemo visit. I would love some hot tips on what I might need to have at home that will help me with the side effects of the first chemo, I get that ginger and green tea helps but thats about it. Also I have the option of not having a stint and I have great veins the oncologist said there were side effects like burning, has anybody had treatment not using the temporily placed stint as I would love to hear from you. From now until thursday im just gonna enjoy my vitailty with my family.
