Well after a reoccurrence I’m starting my new chemo treatment today, more nervous than I thought I’d be having been through it before and I think it’s because I don’t know how I will react to this specific chemo, caelyx. My good friend Sue is coming with me, my hubby takes us and leaves us to natter away the time Sue also provides the snacks LOL
Got all my moisturisers & mouth washes ready and just hope my side effects aren’t to severe.
Anyway ladies I wish you all the best on your own journeys xxx
Sending you my very best wishes and hopes that you cope with the treatment well. Glad you’ve got a good friend to help pass the time. My lovely sister sat with me through the endless hours of carbo/taxol. It made a huge difference. Jo 🌸🌻🌼🌺🌹
HI Scotty. Just would like to wish you all best with Caelyx, I've had quite a bit of experience with this treatment with good results yes the side effect can be hard but all manageable.
I managed to keep my part time job through out the treatment'
Great to have a friend to support you but there are also some benefits from going alone. You're more likely to engage with other fellow sufferers and I've developed a great group at the London hospital I attend but I can't tell you how happy I am that my sister is arriving from Australia tomorrow. She will be staying with me for 5 weeks so a bit of respite for me. She will also relieve me from supporting mother, 88 and needy.
But this is about you, so my advice is to take everything one step at a time. Don't worry about later on, it's an unknown at every stage, so use your energy to deal with today. Enjoy your friend's presence today and get into a treatment routine. Pace yourself!
