Hi everyone started chemo last week so I'm getting to the end of my first week, what happens if the chemo doesn't work what if it doesn't shrink my tumour? And if it is working how long until im likely to notice a difference. Thanks xxxx

    Hi Lizzy,

    Try not to worry about 'what if' just now and tell yourself that it will work. A positive attitude is a great help in situations like this. If it doesn't work for you, there are a number of different chemo options or even immunotherapy. Talk to your care team about your concerns.

    Having said this, I sincerely hope that it will work for you.Please keep in touch and let us know, We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

     

  • Hi thanks for your reply I was just having a wobble. I spoke to a nurse the other day and her and the chemo doc are confident it will work she said something about double positive reacts really well ( normally) or there are more drugs that can be tried xx thanks again
