Chemotherapy

Hi,

I am due to start chemotherapy for breast cancer. 

Please could any share their experiences.  I'm a nervous wreck, unsure whether to carry on working etc... scared of the side effects etc.

Is the pain really bad?

Any experience would be much appreciated. 

Thank you

    I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis and appreciate this must be an anxious time for you.

    Hopefully others will drop on this thread and share their experiences with you but do remember every one is different.

    Do take a look at our breast pages here for more information about your cancer and treatment and so on but you may also find it useful to contact breast cancer Now 'someone like me' service at this link, where they can put you in touch with someone who has been through similar to you to talk things through.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,

    Naomi
