Hi there ... and welcome ...

So sorry your going through this , but there's lots of us breast lasses on here ... I had a grade 3 her 2 neg oestrogen positive lump, and a mastectomy in july 2017 ...

But I've not had chemo, but from what I've learned on here, everyone reacts differently ... there's so many different chemo treatments ... but lots of others have ... your deff not alone ... 

If you see the thread "the good and bad" it was started by [@Sandra123]‍  .... in 2017 when lots of us were new here ... many have joined along the way ... they make everyone welcome ... we were all new once and remember how scary it was ...

Cancer wants you to feel scared .. it wants to brake us ... it feels stronger the weaker we feel ... but you know I had a couple of days crying ... got it all out of my system, then brought a pair of vertual  pink boxing gloves and got ready for the fight of my life ... got in the ring and looked it square in the eye ...

I think when you feel more positive, cancer gets scared ... and I'll send you a pair over ... there's loads of us in that boxing ring. . All with one aim in mind ... kicking cancers *** ... 

I'll tag a couple of those lasses and hopefully they'll pop along too .. and they can tell you more about chemo .. one lass just finished her chemo, and she's now expecting a little mirical soon ... 

[@rileyroo]‍  [@Cornishpastie]‍  [@Jbains]‍ ... so hold on in there ... sending you a vertual hug ...

Hello lovely,

sorry you find yourself on here, this forum has been a god send for me, we all support one another....

on thursday I will be on my 3 rd cycle of fec ( half way through)  my first cycle was rough, but my second cycle got tweaked and was so much better.....

Get on top of your anti sickness meds, and follow the protocol, don't try and miss any out, you may feel ok and want to skip a pill....don't....

my overriding side effect is fatigue......but I just take it easy.....I get nausea but didn't vomit at all on second cycle...

everyone will have different side effects.....all I can say is take it easy, relax...go to bed....slouch on the sofa...accept all the help offered at home.....you will be fine...xxxxx

So glad you replied Marlyn..  

Was gonna tag you but couldn't remember how your name was spelt ... I'm gonna send you a friend request ... as it's really handy to have a way to contact each other ... you should change your name to Genie ... I thought of you, and you appeared ...  Chrissie x

Thank you. I have put my gloves on and am now ready to fight... 

1st chemo went ok. 3 days into it and sickness is under control, tiredness has gotten it's grip but just following my body's advice.

This WONT beat me !!!

Well done girly!! Got my third tomorrow....we can absolutely do this! Xxxx
