Hi everyone, just a little update iv just had num 5 out of 6 chemo. The first 3 were EC an the 2nd half is docetaxel. I remember starting it all and feeling terrified of the unknown, I was lucky enough to get through the 1st half with only minor side effects (no sickness at all).
I'm now in the 2nd half an iv really struggled with the injections I have to do into my stomach (zarzio filgrastim) the pain in my bones is really quite bad. I'm thinking of refusing them on my next lot as it's my last chemo. Has anyone else done this? I also wonder will I ever look in the mirror and recognise myself again? I feel like I'm watching everyone carry on with life and I'm stuck in limbo will it ever get any better. ?
I started this process so strong an positive an I feel now I'm almost at the end of chemo I'm more tearful than ever. Iv still got radiotherapy an hormone treatment to come also. I think when I started on this journey I didn't realise how long it would actually all take which is silly of me really!!
Has anyone found anyone to talk too about things ? I think maybe I need to chat about feelings etc with someone.
