Hi, thanks for your suggestions ❤️ First chemo was yesterday and I was expecting it to be waaaaaay worse than it really was 😊 Didn't felt any side effects whilst on hospital, but later in the evening I've got really disoriented, was not just nausea. But since I was home I've just laid on my bed and slept. Woke up as almost new, apart from the expected tiredness nothing much. Have to highlight that so far I have taken all the medicines prescribed by the doctors. I guess I got lucky! Let's see hopefully next sessions are almost the same 🤞 Sending love and good vibes to anyone reading this! 🥰 ... View more

So, I was diagnosed with the triple negative inflammatory breast cancer three weeks ago and I am trying to stay positive not just for me but for my husband and my 18 months old little boy. I was planning on keep working during the treatment even just to keep my head occupied. But my oncologist advised that it would be best for me to stay out of work and somehow this is now making me anxious and fear the first chemo. I know each people is different, etc etc but is there anything I could eat before the first chemo or bring with me on the first session that can help me get through it? Due to COVID I cannot bring anyone with me and I usually feel cold. Should I bring a blanket? Food? Drinks? Books? Anything that helped you guys feel "more prepared" to the first battle? Thanks a lot! ... View more
