Hi Lupin
Seems like you've had quite a bit done already. What treatment do you start on Thursday? I haven't had any opps yet but going through chemo at the mo. I find the staff really lovely at the units and don't be afraid to ask any questions, I always want to know lol!
Best wishes for Thursday xx
Hi Lupin,
Try taking it a day at a time, it is scary cos its the unknown, I'm just coming to the end of 8 cycles and felt very well looked after, the nurses are great as Mich says. if ever you have concerns speak to the breast care nurses, or nurses on unit, .you will get a 24hour help line number so your never alone.
If I was to give one piece of advice it would be to drink 3lt of fluid a day if you can, it really helps.
All the very best for Thursday, let us know how you get on xx
Hi
I start chemotherapy Thurs which has been delayed due to a Seroma and awaiting results from Optima Study.
I think its because i've seen my siater in law go through chemo and had a few setbacks i.e. infection, low platlets, nose bleeds hair loss .
I know everyone is different.
I am pretty upbeat about it all just a bit scary.
Thankyou for your comments .
Best wishes
Thankyou for your
Thankyou.
The chemo sister did mention drinking water more to help find vein for the canular??
I have plenty of litereature any way.
Did you need the 24hr helpline much?
At least now i know i need chemo Thursday will be x1 down 5 to go
Best wishes
