Starting chemo tomorrow

Hi

After 3 surgeries to remove DCIS I unfortunately was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer last November. I’m now 9 weeks post op mastectomy with diep flap reconstruction. 
Having 3 lymph nodes removed during surgery it was found that the cancer had spread to 1 of the 3 nodes so chemotherapy was advised.

After a few hiccups and a wound infection I finally start my first round of chemotherapy tomorrow.
 EC every 2 weeks for  4 cycles then paclitaxel also every 2 weeks for 4 cycles.

To say I’m feeling a bit anxious about it all is an understatement, worried about the side effects and loosing my long hair, I’m thinking of maybe giving the cold cap a try.

Any advice would be appreciated.

  • Hi. Thank you for thinking of me. Xx

    Hubby has had a really bad week. He now cannot even hold down fluids. It's been an emotional week for me watching him go through this awful situation. Chemo tomorrow so hopefully they will speak to his consultant and provide some sort of update. He has a CT scan on 27th so we will have a better understanding of the position. 

    How are you doing?
