Hi Deedee,
I’m so sorry you are feeling so terrible at the moment.
No-one is the same when it comes to chemo but your onc will work with you to make sure it’s do-able. They will help to tailor your drugs to your side effects. I won’t lie and say its a walk in the park but it’s surprising how quickly you get through it - I had FEC5 last week and I’m due my last one in 2 weeks. Now if you’d have seen me in Sept, I was a frightened mess too!
The best thing I did was join the Sept thread, the girls are so supportive - I wouldn’t be where I am without them! Join the Starting Chemo in Jan thread, the girls there seem really nice and are in the same boat as you. It’s surprising how it helps to compare SEs!
Take care - if you need to talk pm me
Big Hugs
Axx
