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.

    Hey,
    I can only say that the more chemo's you get the more you'll get used to it, just try to think positive things. I know it's very hard when you feel like ***. I've had 5/6 chemo treatments. If you have any problems with your mouth after chemo eat ice the next time your in chemo. Just listen to your body and if you can't get up then don't, give your body time to heal. Sometimes it takes 2 days or a week. One nurse said to me that '' if you can only eat chocolate then you eat that, it's better than nothing ''.

    Be strong ! :)
