I have just had my first chemo four days ago after a lumpectomy to remove a grade 3 HER2+ tumour was wondering if anyone has any advise as to how to get through this dreadful time I feel terrible does it get any better or does it get worse if so I don't think I can cope feeling really low at the moment.

    Sorry to hear you are feeling so bad after your chemo it is not a nice experience I had breast cancer 2 years ago had lump removed then chemo and radio therapy the chemo made me very ill my advice and way of coping listen to your body rest when it tells you to eat small portions of food regularly and ask your doctor to give you something to stop you being sick and a mouth wash is good to help with the sore mouth . Take one day at a time keep positive and after each treatment remind yourself that you have one less treatment to endure I wish you a speedy recovery not an easy journey to travel keep strong you will get there x
