I know what you mean I had surgery in April to remove lump in breast then started chemo in June. All around me everyone is getting on with their lives whilst I'm stuck and can't plan anything as first drug was awful.
My first drug i had 21 days apart for 3 treatments. Now have a new drug every week for 3 weeks then 4th week off this is for 9 sessions so 3 months almost. The 2nd drug isn't as strong and although has side effects I can do lots more.
See how you feel and ask the nurses. Even the same chemo can have a widely different impact on different people and there are literally hundreds of chemo regimes.
I had my first chemo on a Thursday and I was back working full time the following Monday. I found the side effects accumulated over time though. Luckily my immune system wasn't too badly affected and my white blood cell count stayed in the normal range throughout.
Ye the doctor said get on with your life it's hard when you feel ill and we have COVID aswell.
Imon the FEC-T treatment I know we all react differently guna be the longest 18 weeks of my life I think but as long as I'm here to see my Grandson grow up it's worth it.
wow Dave u were quite lucky I work in the hospital so I can't go back till the end of treatment so got to find things to keep me occupied x
