Hi Kat, Yep chemo feels like the last hurdle and although I'm nervous, I just want to get on with it now! Thursday isn't long for you to wait! And I'm not far behind you, I start next Weds. There are so many apts aren't there! I've got my blood test and ECG tomorrow, covid test saturday and then nurse apt and piic line on Monday (I hope that doesn't hurt). I'm not sure if its under any anaesthetic or not.. I need to ask. Then I start chemo next weds. I'm only having an ECG not an echo scan but I'd prefer the echo as it's more detailed. I'm worried what chemo does to the heart so wanted a proper check but he said I'm too young at 38 to have an echo?! Im confused though as most people seem to have an echo? Never mind, I'll just have to hope my heart can cope! I'm sure it will but I'm having 2 weekly cycles which is going to be a little tough I think! But on the plus side I'll finish sooner I guess! Are you having EC chemo first? Like you, I'm looking forward to Xmas and being all finished! Yay! I think my chemo will finish mid / end Nov if I manage the two weekly cycles but I might go to three weekly cycles if its too much. I've never looked forward to Christmas so much since I was a kid! Ha ha! xx
