Talk about turning your life upside down
Job gone, no car as I had a company car, partner of 4 months (quite understandable) doesn't want to take this journey with me - but we can be friends, have to move out of my apartment on the Gold Coast and move to Sunshine Coast as my family and friends are there (SO happy about that) love love love them for the support they want to give me and treatment is 6months chemo, radiation and hormone pills this has certainly chnaged my life.
I am so thankful to read other peoples experiences this is a comfort to know expectations and tips on getting through this.
Thank you Di

Good luck for tomorrow, the first chemo is daunting, but try not to be too anxious. Hopefully you have someone that will be able to go with you as there is alot of sitting around.
I so remember my first chemo I was a bundle of nerves, they had to give me something to calm down. It seems so far away now but I was just 1 year ago.
Your hair will start falling out on about day 14, mine came back a lovely silver and I waited 6 months before colouring I just didn't want to put chemicals in my body.
There is never a being too prepared, there are so many different side effects that you can get and you just don't know which ones if any you will get.
Hopefully you sleep well tonight and the dex doesn't play with you too much.
Sending you hugs
Donna
