Hi there, I completely get where you're coming from, I had the same chemo as you ( EC then Doc) I also found doc hard expecially 5 and 6. I finished Xmas Eve. It does get easier I promise. Took me a few weeks after my 6th, lots of rest and slowly my energy returned. 
Radio is a walk in the park compared to Chemo, they will send you exercises, do then everyday they help.

My hair has just started coming back in so don't panic if you don't see regrowth straight away.

Ive also been referred for counselling, something I never thought  I would do but like you I've been very teary, not as much now but I still want support.

Hormone therapy, I'm 5 weeks in, apart for hot flushes I'm doing ok xxxxxxxxx.     It gets easier, get chemo under your belt and you're half way there xx

Hi there, my hair has already started to grow which makes me feel happier, iv actually just put myself forward for the 6 sessions with bupa for councilling which I think will be good for me, can I ask is it the tamoxifen your taking? Iv been told there's 2 choices not sure which to go for. I only need 5 sessions of radiotherapy which is good too. Glad to hear your managing the hormone treatment so far so good  im looking forward to getting back to work an getting my life back xxx

Hi,

hope you don't mind me jumping on this 
I had my first Docetaxil on Thursday, can't say yet on side effects for this, but really struggled with FEC the nausea was just hurrendous,

how long did you wait to have radiotherapy' after You last chemo? Did you start Tamoxifen after? Sorry for the questions, how long after Radiotherapy did you have a Scan? Im already freaking out about it.

i had a lumpectomy and 3 nodes removed to check, my nodes where clear, the week after chemo where I had my operation it seems to be painful, hoping it's because it's my weak point and it's doing its job 

any advice would be great thanks 

Hi,

Im on Tamoxifen yes, and managing really well .

With radio I waited 5 weeks after the chemo, I needed that break, I had  the planning scan within that 5 weeks. I moisturised the area twice a day leading up to the radio and afterwards and luckily my skin hasn't been painful or sore, just a change in colour which I was warned about. 

I had a full node clearance ( 33!!!) after chemo that area would ache but nothing more, Ive been given exercises which help.

I had a CAT scan after my surgeries which showed no spread . I asked about another scan now treatment has finished but the oncologist said I don't need one, which goes worry me but she said any change would be to small to detect... so im Just trying to get on with things and find my new normal xxxxx
 

Hi my final chemo is 11th March, I go for an xray an marking to be done on 22nd March ready for radiotherapy to start on 5th April. And at the same time as starting radiotherapy iv got to start my hormone treatment which looks like il go with tamoxifen.  I had a lumpectomy and all 20 lymph nodes removed. Hope this helps xx
