Just home from my first AC chemo, so the journey has begun. A friend drove me there, and we passed the time playing scrabble, so it was fine. Feeling tired, but I await the effects from tomorrow so for now just concentrating on drinking loads. And having to get used to taking multiple tablets which is not something I am used to!
Glad the wait is over and I have finally started treatment, but another part of me recognises that my life will be very different from now on no matter what.
That's good the first one over, just stay positive and have some treats along the way.

So good to hear you are doing so well. Great stuff. Best wishes Caroline xx
Thanks. Still seems a bit surreal, but so far so good.
Good luck to you too.
You are doing absolutely the right thing, continue to drink loads, get the tablet timetable sorted and be good to yourself. Best of luck with the chemo.

Thanks. As my appetite is still ok I'm indulging in some bangers and beans tonight just because I fancy it!
