Starting chemo August 7th

I am new to this forum and starting chemo on Thusday. I found out I had breast cancer in March this year. I had a lumpectomy followed by lymph node removal. Are there any tips you can give me for my first chemo session. I am having FEC. Thank you. Feeling very anxious.

Hi Niceemee,

Welcome to the BCC Forum.  There is a thread which was started by members beginning their chemotherapy treatment during August which you might find helpful.  I’ve attached a link:

forum.breastcancercare.org.uk/t5/Chemotherapy-monthly-threads/Treatment-starting-August-2014/m-p/865385#U865385

There’s also a thread called “Top tips for chemotherapy” :

Very best wishes

Hi Niceemee

Come & join our thread…we’re the August gang the BCC Nurse has sent you the link to.

There’s a few of us on there at different stages of starting treatment & also a lady from the Feb 2013 valentine’s who’s already been through it all.

You won’t be alone in this…I started the thread in need of some support of people experiencing the same journey as me & I’ve found it’s really helping.

Hope to see you on our thread.

With love…Bevster xx

 

Hi Bevster I have just made a comment on the thread for August. Hope I have done it right. Thanks for the reply.
