Hi Rose 

Sorry you're having cemo at your age, there are other's (young) on here but they don't always want to stay, most cemotheropy is an anticlimax apart from the neadle, in your hand or wrist for a long while,, unless you have a bad side effects, remember nurses have helped hundreds of people to carry on with treatment, it's for your own good, hopefully others will join you to talk soon best wishes..

If you're really worried take someone with you 

Hi Ross, nowadays each chemo dose is gauged to the individual not just a load of drugs pumped in as happened in the olden days!  So you should be able to cope, there are side effects obviously but the nurses will talk to you and you'll have a dedicated nurse to help you if you have concerns when you're home.  Take a good book with you, from my experience most patients don't want to talk but some do.  I went with my husband but was always in the way as there's very little space for extra bodies to hang around!!  But they could take you and collect you to give support.  Good luck for the future, Carol x
