Hello Corals,
I’m also doing 4 TC cycles and just found out that I start Tuesday 3/9. Were you also given steroids, two anti-nausea medicine, Claritin, Omeprazole? I’m very scared too! But we will be ok!
Aviva5675, I hope your first treatment went without complications and that you are feeling ok.
Everyone else starting this necessary evil soon, I’m hoping that knowing this is temporary will help us make it through.
I had my port put in two weeks ago and ended up with a pneumothorax and fou painful days in the hospital. I debated mentioning this here because I don’t want to worry anyone here unnecessarily (we are all worried enough!). But it does rarely happen, I recovered fine and the port itself doesn’t bother me. It better work properly though! It did delayed the start of my chemo and I have to work through treatment and watching my available days off disappear is stressing me out.
I have a 17 year old daughter who is being so kind and mature, I’m sad for her between covid and my diagnosis she is having a lot less fun than she should at her age.
Diagnosed at 45. Bilateral, multifocal bc. Learning to accept that the plan keeps on changing. At least there is a plan!
