Unwell from chemo
This was posted on another blog from @Jenv who is hospital after her 1st chemo and was experiencing breathlessness. Thought Jenv could do with some bc sister support at what must be a scary time. ...

It is very frightening not being able to get enough breath. I got the feeling there are lots of side effects with chemo which the specialists would rather not hear and just hope you get through it and then its not their problem once the treatments are all finished. Don't worry about the do you want to be resuscitated thing as we all get asked that one. I opted for yes in the case of if I had something curable like pneumonia of course I want to be kept alive with the promise of a recovery. Don't worry too much about the possibility of the heart damage as hey as we get older we all carry a little bit of that around. Just get yourself better and back home soon and take things easy. The hardest thing to learn in cancer treatment is patience. The patience to take things easy and just let yourself recover bit by bit. Hang in there Jen. <3
