Good.... 4 radiotherapy sessions done already :):):):)

Bad.....too tired so will give in to it today

definitely latte and book day for me too 

love to all of you ......waiting for treatment, having treatment and done and dusted xxx :love:

Just had the nurse ring me....looks like I need chemo....4 months worth and herceptin.....any advise tips and soothing words would be wonderful....feeling very scared xxx

Ahh Marlyn,

Sorry you got to have the dreaded chemo buy if its any comfort it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Obviously it's no walk in the park and I had numerous infections but was surprised how doable it actually was. Hair loss happened pretty quick, followed by lashes and brows, then big toe nails but they grew back super quick. You'll be surprised. I also had 4 months of chemo and am about to have my 9th herceptin on Thursday so at the half way mark. Another 9 to go and that's treatment finished. Only side effect from that is really itchy skin but it's tolerable with all the right creams. You'll be fine I'm sure but I understand your concerns. The whole process absolutely flies by you'll be pleased to know:-) xx

Thank you so much for replying...it means so much...

so the herceptin is an injection? So do you need another 9 chemo sessions? Or 9 herceptin?? 

I am dreading it...but at the same time just want to get on with it...did your finger nails drop off too? Xxx
