Hi Donka I think we all worry about chemo because of all the scare stories. I am sure that some people do suffer but not everyone. We all have different side effects depending on the drugs, quantity and I am sure how fit we are when starting treatment. I wrote a chemo diary jotting down how I felt physically and mentally. It helped identify when I would have bad days (mine was painful joints particularly in my legs) so I could plan. It was also useful when seeing the doctor as I had everything written down. I did not need the anti sickness tablets and they had to reduce the steroids. The one side effect we all seem to have is exhaustion but this comes and goes. Good luck with the rest of your treatment.

Hi River Thanks for your reply. Tonight my hair has started coming out in clumps, hope the chemo is battering the cancer as much as it’s battering my scalp!!! Defo going to take the clippers to what’s left on Saturday. Did shed some tears but now feel stupid as I knew it was coming. 2nd chemo is this coming Tuesday, trying to stop myself freaking out again. Good idea keeping a diary, Thanks Donna
