Hello Tougherthancancer,

I just noticed you hadn't yet received a response but I am sure others will be along soon to comment on their own chemotherapy experiences and give you some tips on what to expect from the first chemotherapy sessions.

I thought I would also share with you this link to our information page on chemotherapy which I hope will answer a lot of questions you may have about chemotherapy treatment including possible side effects and coping with everyday life.

Sending positive vibes for you and your mum for the start of her treatment and I hope she is feeling ok about it all. Don't forget also our lovely nurses are only a free phone call away so don't hesitate to get in touch with them if you have any questions on chemotherapy. The number to ring is 0808 800 4040 and their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.

Best wishes,

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
