Just like to say hello. I was recently diagnosed with grade 3 breast cancer and have started chemo. Things not going too well so far, so need some encouragement.
Welcome to the forum. You will find this a great resource for practical help and support from people who have been afflicted with the same type of cancer as yourself. I am sorry to hear about your recent breast cancer diagnosis, but glad to hear that you have already started chemo, even though you are having a rough ride.
What are the symptoms that are making your chemo so hard to bear? I have had two bouts of breast cancer in the past seven years. The first time I had a lumpectomy followed by Tamoxifen, the second a double mastectomy followed by Letrozole. I have never had chemo, so I am sorry that I cannot give you any advice, but there are many others here who have had it and can guide you through it.
I do hope that it is worth all the suffering in the end. Please keep us updated on your progress. There is always someone here if you want to chat further.
Thanks for your reply. It seems likely that I had a very bad reaction to one of the anti nausea drugs and ended up in an ambulance. Good going for day 2!
I am sorry to hear about the bad reaction to your second session of chemo. Fortunately, there are several anti-nausea medications which can be used instead.
