Hi, I am due to start chemo either 28th Feb (fri) or Monday 3rd March, so thought I would join this group, as my journey will be throughout March.
I have my port-a-cath insertion next week, then 4 cycles EC fortnightly application, then paclitaxel 4 cycles fortnightly application. This will be the beginning of my treatment journey, after chemo i need total right mastectomy and total lymph clearance, then radiotherpay and endocrine therapy.
This is the beginning of a long road, and to be honest I am very nervous about it all, as I have 2 young children (4 & 2 years old) and I want to minimise the impact on them wherever I can. I am 37, and want to still live as active a life throughout chemo as possible.
Anyone else in a similar position, how are you feeling?
I am considering cold capping and possibly cutting my hair pre chemo to lessen the shock of losing hair… but not sure. Anyone else done this?
