Hello,
I was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer last year.
It's perfectly normal to feel apprehensive before your first treatment as you won't know what to expect.I was scared on my first treatment but the nurses are so lovely & you will be well looked after.They explained everything to me & don't be afraid to ask them questions.It was a very relaxing atmosphere.Very quiet which I liked.Hope this helps.
Take care
