Hi 

Just looking at a few posts and thought I could add my diagnosis and experience so far. I was diagnosed in February with breast cancer grade 3 and HER2 positive .I started my treatment at end of march for my first chemo and have now 4 more to complete with one targeted injection 3 weeks apart. I won't lie the side effects aren't nice but I'm getting through with good family and friends supporting me. If anyone wants to ask anything I'm more than happy to help where possible.  At the moment my worst symptom is nausea and chronic heartburn. Got Gaviscon to help but wondered if anyone had any dietary advice or anything to help with the nausea. We can get through this girls and nice to talk with those who can empathise too.

Hi, I have been diagnosed with stage 2, grade 3.  Not met with consultant yet but have been told likely to get chemo first then surgery.

Chemo is freaking me out.  I know side effects are different for everyone but what is your experience of it ? Are you bed ridden or able to do stuff? I am absolutely dreading it! 

If I'm honest I have been in and out of bed each time. Try and get up for a couple of hours then go back to bed for a bit. My main problem is the nausea feeling and trying to eat to have some energy. Everyone seems to react a bit differently and difficult to predict.
