Hello BouncingB, Sorry you find yourself here. It's good to make these ties and connections to others who have gone or undergoing treatment. The FB page is good but I found it a little overwhelming, but you may not. I was TNBC, stage 3, grade 3. Things I found really useful were : 1. Paintings nails dark colours to help keep them 2. Water - A must 3. Keeping on top of drugs as there may be a few and you may get brain fog causes by chemo. So I made a home chart to keep on top of these. 4. Cut hair short before loosing. This helped me very much as I had long list hair. 5. Cotton caps for night time. Bald head gets cold 6. I asked for a PIC line as my veins collapsed and I needed 8 chemo so this seemed best for me. You can enquire with BC nurse to ask if this would suit you. 7. Don't just accept drugs if they're not working. My initial anti sicknesses drugs didn't work. There are a few types. 8. But tempreture meaning devise. A good one as you may need to keep an eye on your temp because you will be open to infection. If it rises above what hospital say is the trigger don't wait and go to hospital. 9. Parking at hospital. Some offer discount to for cancer patients. 10. Get on list if you can for counselling for you and family. Macmillan offer this and some hospitals. hope this is useful. Pam. X We are here and hearing you.
