Let me know how it goes? Xx

I will x

Hi KLRM

 Please dont be scared, the nurses are so lovely and will put you at ease and look after you.  I can totally understand your anxiety but you dont need to worry.  Are you allowed to take someone with you? I know they are quite strict noe due to covid.  If you have to go alone then take a book to read and your headphones and put some music on.  The volunteers supply tea, coffee and biscuits so make sure you get a cuppa!!  I was tired and nauseous after each dose so get plenty of rest for the first few days and once you start to get your energy back go for a nice walk with a friend.  I lost all my hair and yes its scary but it will grow back (mine has), ask a friend to take you scarf shopping and have coffee and cake.  Please sleep well tonight and let us all know how you get on tomorrow.  Good luck xxxx

Hello Catherine 

Just popped on here as I had a notification from another post and I saw our thread.  How are you doing? Have you fully recovered from your treatment? I really do.hope you are OK.  I've just replied to a lady who has just been diagnosed and is scared of chemo. After i was diagnosed i found it helpful to speak to ladies who had been through treatment and I wanted to help someone else in the same way.  I hope your treatment wasn't too harsh and you made a full recovery.  Take care xxxxx

Hi RunningSue, I was about to reply to your original post to tell you not to worry about chemo when I noticed the date - 2019! I've also read your last post, so you made it through chemo and the rest of your treatment - well done! Our minds take us to the darkest places when we're anxious, don't they. When I was diagnosed last summer I started planning my funeral too. I've just finished chemo and have had an excellent response, so it's surgery next and the outlook is great. I look at this forum to try to help others who have found a lump or just been diagnosed to try to reassure them. It's good to be able to give back as this site really is so helpful and encouraging. God bless x
