No one looks forward to Chemo. Like everything to do with having BC it is an unknown at first.
I have just finished my Chemotherapy and start radiotherapy on the 9 Oct. Chemo was awful but in some ways not as bad as I imagined. The medical staff were terrific and that helped. Even though it seems like a lot to get through, the time actually went quite quickly once you get started.
I feel mentally great to be finished but very lacking in energy still at the moment. I am really glad to have it behind me but reassured that I have done it as insurance against any chance that the cancer cells had gone wandering!
With regard to minimizing the effects of Chemo, I found lots of good advice from people on here. Just ask if you need advice with anything in particular.
Hope it goes well for you. Take care.
