I'm sorry to hear that you've recently started chemotherapy. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about how treatment will progress for you.
We have some general information about chemotherapy on our website that may be useful, but you can also use the cancer A-Z pages on our website to read more about your diagnosis and the specific types of treatment you may be offered.
Do make sure that you let the chemo nurses at your hospital know about any side effects or problems that you experience. They will be best placed to make sure that any additional support or adjustments are made to help you through this.
If you'd like to chat with one of our nurses at any point, you're welcome to call them. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040.
I hope that things go well for you. Do keep in touch - we're here for you.
