What has helped you through your journey?
I thought I would start a post to see what has helped people through their journey, so that maybe something might help others.
I will start with:
Ahh Bra Type tops - I found these great post op...
Forum Discussion
what a fantastic thread to have been started....today I took the call that confirms my chemo starts next friday (four rounds, three months), and instead of having very little idea of what to do to prepare myself for this, I have read every post above and can draw up a shopping list of aids to help me get through some of the symptoms. I am of course going to be in denial about about those who have noted it takes twice or even three times as long to get over the treatment as the length of the treatment, but that's allowed for now isn't it ;-).
and i'm keeping all crossed I am one of those who are able to work through treatment....running my own business....oh how I wish I had a boss I could ring up and say I'm taking three/six months leave paid/unpaid whatever!
so booked in for friday sessions, so I can be ill and under a doona saturday, sunday and monday, and then crawl back into the office for at least a few hours a day tue-fri until the next round.
a huge thanks to everyone above for sharing your thoughts, ideas, insiders tips and spirits.
hope i can help someone along the way, in the way, you pink crew above have helped me.
speaking of which. hate pink. least favourite colour in the world. better get used to it, huh ;-)!
