Firefly, I’d love to say life carries on as normal, but until you see how your body tolerates the chemicals I wouldn’t plan a lot. As you know there can be a few side effects from the chemo, and you may not feel emotionally or physically able to go out.....or you may just sail through it all. I do hope so. Everyone is so very different. It is possible that your immune levels dip, and precautions might be needed to avoid the general population. I was 70 when I was diagnosed, and I definitely think age makes a difference . I struggled to tolerate my chemo, and was very pleased to be the centre of hubbys attention. He drove me places, generally unpopulated, for walks, and I became ace at spotting uncrowded coffee shops . Didn’t use super markets for quite some time, though. My advice would be to not plan too firmly ahead, but be nice and flexible to grab opportunities for little breaks when and where. Be kind to yourself, too. Good luck. 🍀
