Hi

I have grade 3 bc also and have had chemo before my surgery. I had 6 sessions of chemo three weeks apart, and finished it about 3 weeks ago. The symptoms vary depending upon the type of chemo you have, let me know once you have your plan and I can share what I experienced.  

A few things to start thinking about: will you lose your hair, if so ask if they will contribute towards a wig if that’s the route you are going to go. And get an appt sorted with a wig provider. Make sure your dental work is up to date.  Is someone coming with you for your chemo sessions? Think about things to do while you are there, my husband and I watched a film each time. Your skin will be dry so get a good moisturiser. And start to drink lots of water if you don’t so already.  Ask if they have any alternative therapies, mu hospital has a therapist who does massages, reiki etc for free. 

Hope the session goes well tomorrow.
