Hello Mv and Hello Stoke. So sorry that you find yourselves here, but it’s the right place for support and advice.

 

I would recommend joining the threads “Starting chemo in September / October” (can be found under “Going Through Treatment” and then “Chemotherapy Monthly Threads”).

 

I stated chemo in February this year and joined the February Valentines thread. It was informative, supportive and at times a real life line. We have all completed our planned chemo now, some still having radiotherapy / reconstruction etc. but still supporting each other as we begin to explore life beyond chemo.

 

Wishing you both all the best with your treatment,

Hi everyone

 

May I suggest you join the thread ‘October Optimists 2013’ which is on the board 'Going Through Treatment ’ and then -  ‘Chemotherapy Monthly Threads.’  There are already two pages of comments there and it would be confusing to have 2  October threads going at once.

 

Thanks.  :smileyhappy:

Julo and Sarah,  may I suggest you join the thread ‘October Optimists 2013’ which is on the board 'Going Through Treatment ’ and then -  ‘Chemotherapy Monthly Threads.’   This is where those going through treatment in October are gathering.  There are three pages of posts there already and I am sure there will be plenaty of people there to advise and support you.

 

Thanks.
