We have some information about chemotherapy on our website, but if you have any questions or concerns you can get in touch with one of our cancer nurses on 0808 800 4040. They're usually available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m but due to the Christmas holidays their helpline will be closed between 24th - 26th December and New Year's Day.
Quite a lot of our members have had chemo too, so you are not alone Mike, and hopefully some of them will stop by soon to share their experiences and advice.
In the meantime, we hope you have a wonderful Christmas and we're wishing you all the best with the start of your treatment in the New Year.
Maybe not the place you want to be - which goes for most if not all of the people here. If you feel you're able to, sharing more information about the type of cancer you have may be helpful. I have stage 4 bowel cancer and my experience may not be relevant to you but it's very likely that someone here has walked the same path as you.
I hope you have support from family/friends. This is also a place to find support and information. Good luck to you.
