Hello Rusk,

So sorry to hear your EC chemotherapy was not plain sailing and that you have had to stop the treatment as a result. I hope you will hear from others here who have also had chemotherapy stopped for similar reasons and that they will be along soon to share their story with you.

I hope your nerve issues get better soon. We have some information on our website here on nerve changes and cancer drugs which may be of interest to you. It includes tips to help cope with nerve changes. It might be worth mentioning these to your doctor and asking as well how long it took for taste to improve.

I hope the radiotherapy treatment goes well and that you won't feel too tired. Our section on radiotherapy for breast cancer contains a lot of useful information to help you prepare for treatment. If you have any questions on anything and live in the UK, don't forget our lovely team of nurses is only a free phone call away. You can reach them on 0808 800 4040 Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.

Hopefully you will also hear from others here who have had similar reactions to chemotherapy and/or have a few tips to share based on their own radiotherapy experience.

Keep in touch I hope everything goes well for you and that you feel better and less tired soon.

Best wishes,

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
