Hello I have been digonaised with this and I'm actually very scared I'm a yuong mom of 24 and worried how I'm going to cope or how my babies will see me I'm having chemo and radiotherapy I'm not sure how to talk about it all xx
I am sorry to hear you are going through this - what type of cancer do you have? I had cervical cancer and had chemo and radiation. It was tough but I got through it ok. I do not have children so I can't give you advice on how to approach that aspect of treatment. I wonder if your treatment facility has any resources for people with children, you might want to check with them. I had a friend who had breast cancer and she never let her children see her without her wig, once her hair was gone. They knew what she was going through but it helped them get through it. Everyone is different, though.
i.m sorry you have to go through this *** like most people on here
i would advise take one day at a time oral chemo isn’t too bad is that what you will be on. Do you know
just make sure if you are on oral chemo take the anti sickness one hour before the chemo
then wait another before eating
i take oral chemo
onve I just couldn’t stop being sick my mum had to call the emergency doctor who came around and gave me an injection to stop being sick you will be fine stay strong & positive
I had Radiotherapy and Chemo tablets for a rectal cancer tumour,
It was not as bad as I thought it was going to be.
It was 5 weeks Radiotherapy at Christies. I drove there myself,felt ok until the last week no sickness but I did have Runs and tiredness.
I'm going for an MRI scan tomorrow and CT scan in January, then it will operation at some point to remove the remainder of the tumour, not looking forward to that.
Don't be too proud to ask for help it will be hard with young children.
