Hi All
just come from the hospital starting chemo in 2 weeks…im having 3 fec and 3 tax then followed by 3 weeks of radiotherapy then a blast of radiotherapy… really worried about the chemo… any tips???
Hi Jilly,
sorry you are joining this group but you will find lots of help and support here!
Have a look at “top tips for chemo”, it has lots of useful things for you to do
My main bit of advise??? Don’t be too scared, easily said I know, but as the days go on, you will learn more about what to expect and be less fearful i hope.
I have only had 2 so far, and it’s no bowl of cherries, but as most women on here say, it’s “do-able”
Let us know hoe you progress and the very bets of luck

Hi Jilly
Just finished all my chemo and rads last week :-). Along with the ‘top tips for chemo’ if you have any worries or questions you will have a 24 hour helpline to ring at your hospital. I found it most helpful. For the other little worries you have all the lovely ladies on here. I found talking to people going through the same thing at the same time really useful.
Some days werent that easy but you just have to think of all the good the drugs are doing to fight your BC. Other days I felt (almost) normal. Some ladies seem to sail through it and even continue working but realistically you have to listen to your body and most of us arent that lucky. Make the most of a nice rest.
Best wishes for your treament
