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.
HI there, Thank you.yes .I am feeling nervous. Saw my oncologist yesterday. She was very kind . My husband is allowed in with me. Hopefully my treatment will go well.i will let you know how I get on thank you again x
HI there, had chemo and cold cap .so far so good . Managed the cap .very uncomfortable at first. Then felt normal .lots of tea and cakes ! Kind nurses.took everything I had early this not to turn back home . Thak you for your support. Will keep u posted
Well I ended up there for about 6 hours. Had opted for cold cap treatment. Which added on a quite a bit of time. My husband was allowed to stay with me .(A new thing I think) I also like colour g! Maybe idea for next session. Lots of tea and cakes so not all bad !
Hi.6 hours is good.I was there for 8.Glad your husband is allowed to stay with you.I wrote all the side affects in a notebook which was helpful too.Just something to fall back on.Its a journey for s e.Rest up as much as you can though.Take care

Oh thats good then.I don't have a husband so I go in to the ward solo lol.My daughters both work so it's difficult for them to accompany me but I don't mind.I do try to keep as positive as I can tho h.That helps too
Yes mental health is very important. My sister in law says little treatis and keeping active are good .her brother i.aw is an oncologist and says this.iwas the only one there with someone else .May not take him always .needs to walk the dog ! Xx will keep u posted.
Hi there, Yes not too bad luckily. Felt quite tired though. My friend wanted to go shopping and I was pretty wiped after! Sore legs as well. Also bit of a sore tummy again .So far so good . Next one in 3 weeks. Have a sore throat as well! I find it hard to explain this to friends sometimes as I think they want you to be "normal"asasp! My sister in law had Cancer,so she understands more..herr husband s friend is an Oncologist in Poole hospital. She had cancer twice but is well now.hope you're OK. All I have done is talk about me! Love to you xx
I'm glad you are doing ok.I can relate to the friends bit too.I have found that sucking on pineapple cubes helps the throat & I do get a dry mouth.I have my treatment next week.Rest up as much as you can.You will need it.You talk away about yourself.This is what this is for.Big hugs on their way to you xx
Hi again ! Will remember the pineapple cubed.quite a sore tongue and croaky voice. Yes I guess it's difficult for Friends . Blandford is a really small town all charity shops! Felt so tired after walking down the one high street!. Are you having more treatment next week. On top of previous care .Sorry I wasn't surel .let me know. We can prop each other up! Xxx
