Hi Jackie
I bet you have read the list of side effects and it sounds very scary....well thats how i felt anyway!
Look its doable, i really didnt have many of the sides effects.
My main side effect was nausea but the pramin helps with that and they can always change your anti nausea drugs if they need too.You can do it !.. i was pretty fit like you and my oncologist said i sailed through it even though it didnt feel like that to me at times. For me i was usually sick for the first 7 days then i had 2 weeks to recover before doing it all again.
I had 10 months off work to do all my treatment, i dont think i could have worked while undergoing chemo... so my advice would be just relax at home maybe some nice beach walks and do things you enjoy to keep your mind off it.Losing your hair is very hard also mine fell out 2 weeks after the first chemo, i got myself a lovely wig that was nicer than my own hair and it was a similar style to what i had , for me i would put on my wig and go shopping and for me looking the same as before was important, it made me forget what i was going through for a while.
Wishing you all the best ... x
