Hi everyone.

I start on this early Jan.

 

I know a few of you are on this.

I just wondered how many of you started on the T first.

 

I am having 3 sessions on T first followed by 3 FEC.

 

Thanks

Hi Balli-Boo

I wondered if you had seen the thread started by members beginning their chemo after Christmas.  I have attached a link:

I hope this helps

Very best wishes

Hi. I’ve only just spotted this. I finished my chemo in July and had the T first. I think it’s to do with age, tumour type but I didn’t ask too many questions. I had a great response, my tumour was a huge invasive lobular cancer and spread throughout my left breast. The largest area measured over 9cm. After 2nd Tax she estimated it was 5-6cm and once removed it was less than 5 so chemo was deemed to be successful. The texture of the lump changed dramatically - it felt rock hard to start but by the end it was jelly like.

The side effects are totally different for each of the chemo drugs and I was quite severely affected (so I’m not going to go into the details as everyone’s different) but if you look after yourself and don’t be afraid of telling them when you feel rough, they can help you with advice and medication.

If you want any more information, just let me know. Good luck. Once you start, it goes quickly! I promise! Xxx
