Hi!
This is my first post in the Forums. I’ll be starting 6 x FEC on 21st February and wondered if anyone would like to join me on my chemo journey! I’m feeling quite positive right now but am sure I’ll need additional support along the way. Would be lovely to hear from you! 
Hi
If you have a look on the forums there is already one started for Feb and a few of us have joined
See you there
Dear Velma72
Welcome to the BCC forum.

17 th feb for me
Hi!
Thanks Kellc - I noticed the other thread after I’d already posted mine!
Thank you, Janet - I’ll have a look at it right now.
All the very best Rosie - hope everything goes well for you.
Velma and ALL,
Welcome. I’m clare and I start the chemical warfare on the 29th February so we are in this together. Right now you may already have had your first doze which means you may be having a rough time right now and be a bit silent. That’s ok, my time will come too.
I’m Scottish but I live in Rome where there isn’t much support and anyway I prefer to speak in my mother tongue. Latin people don’t like to talk about their illness where as we anglo saxon’s believe its part of our therapy to express what’s happening to us. I’m defiantly the later.
I will have 8 cycles (4 x EC and 4 x Taxame) In Italy they want to do the chemo first and then re-asses for surgery after. Let’s see how we get on. I’m told its quite an aggressive cancer that I have and I’m ‘relatively’ young 41yrs. Funny how I had my second child at 36 and was told I was ‘relatively’ old !!
This afternoon, I will have a cannula fitted i my chest. Right now this seems a welcome option to using my arms. Time will tell. I did read there that one lady had a port fitted and never looked back- this gives me confidence, so already the forum is working to help me.
A virtual hug to all the unique and strong ladies on this forum.
Clare
I wish I could change my user name as I’m not waiting anymore - it’s ‘game on’.
Hi Clare,
This thread is a bit quite as there is another February starter thread here: starting-chemo-in-february-2012-t35544.html
I like that: game on!
Hi Clare,
Hope all goes well with your treatment. I think being able to talk things through is hugely important. This is the first time I’ve logged on since my first chemo on Tuesday but I find it invaluable to know that I’m not alone and the effects that I’m feeling are to be expected.
Take care and give me a shout if you need a chat!
Love Rachael xx
