melclarity said:@spillsy Ive been reading the thread and thought Id pop in now and say what an amazing job you are doing. I think we are way too hard on ourselves. I didnt have AC but 4 FEC which is similar and called the (red devil) it was soul destroying on many levels and I was very ill hospitalised after each infusion for 3 days. Taxol was different after that. I just remember at 1 point looking at my wardrobe thinking what am I going to wear to my daughters Yr 12 Graduation at the time and I collapsed so ill on the floor in tears wondering...how am I going to get through this??? how??? So I want to say to you, you ABSOLUTELY WILL, you won't know how you did it but you will and be amazed at what an incredibly strong woman you are. Just be YOU...and lean on the ones that really support you..a great network here of so many understanding people who get it!!! You're on your way...and it will become a memory...believe it!!!! I am now just over 2yrs post chemo and life really is a long way from those moments of despair...YOU TOO will get there.. xx Melinda
@sister all the best, the 1st one is the hardest because of anxiety and fear, but you'll see that you are so supported by wonderful caring staff and you will too be OK!! xx
