Hi Karebear, i have my 5th chemo out of 7 on 20th December. I was terrified before starting. But 3 treatments down and i have to say that the fear of chemo is worse than the reality. I have a bit of rough week afterwards but life goes on as normal as posdible. Then you start to pick up and usually have a 'normal' week before treatment is due again. There is lots of good advice on the monthly threads that help you get through. Good luck - you can do it xx
