hi i’m nicola, 37, recently diagnosed with stage 3 in left breast. had first chemo friday and so far so good i guess?! finished the anti sickness and luckily haven’t had to take the ‘Dom Perignon’ (i wish!) tablets. but literally waiting for shitty s.e’s to start…
Hi Biggley, there is a support group of ladies called the July Junkies I’m sure you would be made very welcome there. Best wishes Pat x
Hi Nicola. I know what you mean about ‘waiting’ for the s/e’s I was exactly the same. I’ve found they’ve not been too bad, more annoying than anything but definitely doable. The tiredness is accumulative and you may find each cycle is slightly different so take each day as it comes, listen to your body and try and be ‘normal’, whatever normal is?!
Good luck
