Hi - I am also starting chemo on 31st August so this seemed the best board to join. I’m having 4 x FEC (3 week intervals) then 4 x T (2 week intervals). I had a portacath fitted yesterday, still feeling a bit bruised and sore today. I have decided not to cold cap - I don’t think I’d be able to stand it to be honest! I live in the Midlands and have two children (13 and 10). Good to meet you all virtually, although obviously sorry that any of us have to go through it xxx
Hi Sarmori,
Nice to virtually meet you.
I live mid way between Glasgow and Edinburgh. And I have two children too. Although mine are much older at 25 and 22. In fact the oldest has just qualified as a nurse and took up her first post this week. But I’m not expecting sympathy from her- she claims I am a nightmare patient. The cheek, eh!
I’m starting on the same day as you although I am doing a different treatment plan-4x TC. it’s at three week intervals so we should be together all the way through this- all going well.
i’ve actually joined the September chemo thread and there are a few others already on there. And we’ve had some really useful links posted there by Sue H-S who is a good bit further into this. Why not come on there and join us? I would send you a link but I’m not that IT savvy. In fact I’d never used a forum before joining this. But I get the feeling I will be an expert by the time we get through this.
anyone out there that can send a link to Sarmori? And instructions how to do it for people like me…?
Anne
