Great that you are able to get it off your chest and there is no better place to do just that.
Chemo is daunting because everyone responds differently to it. But it is also very doable. I found the first one the worst, mainly because you do not know what to expect. Once the first is out of the way, I had a "bring it on" attitude. It helps to think of it as liquid gold blasting away those nasty buggers!!
Great that you have had your hair cut short in preparation, I got my husband to buzz my hair off, in a strange kind of way it felt like I was taking back some control!! There are some great wigs and hats available now and I had fun experimenting with different wigs.
After your first chemo, take your meds, drink plenty of fluids, rest and listen to your body.
Take care of yourself and let all those wonderful friends and family look after you.
Best of luck.
