Hi @jenny9 Welcome to the thread. We are a very supportive bunch. I see @carrie5 has given you some great advice.
Many people say that you need to ask/ be specific what your needs are. Many people will say ‘ let me know if there is anything you want’, during treatment you may not have the energy to even think about what you want so try to plan ahead and get people on board.
I was able to walk with the dog every day, but not every walk, and my team recommended walking during chemo. Any side effects of chemo will happen after you have returned home, pay attention to what doesn’t feel right and call your helpline for advice. Have a thermometer at the ready and check your temperature regularly as it’s a sign of infection. I was given a booklet to note my side effects on a daily basis.
I would recommend ready this thread and also joining the monthly chemo starters thread for July/Aug depending on when chemo starts. I found it really supportive with others starting chemo in the same month.
