Ready To start Chemo

[Guest guest]

Hi there everyone,

Its Friday night here in Australia and I've had a good week.

My operation was on the 15th May and just over 3 weeks later I was

back at work. I'm a deli manager and as its a small supermarket i

usually work by myself from 6am to midday but my boss put someone on

with me so I wouldn't have to lift heavy things.

I went to the physio on Monday arvo and she said that I have a

cord, I was wondering why something felt like it was pulling. The

physio showed me how to massage the cord and my scar,she also showed

me how to massage the groin lymph glands and the left arm lymph

glands etc so the body will learn to go to those places instead of

where my missing glands are.

I went to the chemo doctor yesterday.The male doctor that I

was referred to was away in America on a conference {I didn't like

him at all} I like the Lady Doctor that I went to instead so I asked

if I could stay with her .

I thought that I would have to have chemo 5 times but she

told me I only have to have it 3 times at intervals of 3 weeks .Its

called AC.

The hospital hasn't called yet so I'm not sure when I start

treatment.

I'm going to buy a wig as I have ears that stick out lol and

there's no way that I could lose my hair with those ears haha.

I'm feeling positive and looking forward to getting over the

first chemo session which hopefully will be in a couple of weeks.

Hope that you are all doing well. God Bless.

Hi

I had AC back in 1991, along with another drug called 5FU. You're

right, you will be loosing your hair. I found the wig to be hot and

uncomfortable and usually just wore scarves around the house. It's

winter down under though, right? So you might be comfortable in a wig.

I'm so glad they showed you some massage. I developed lymphedema

(because of the removal of the lymph nodes) and had to have PT and

learn how to do the massage. Sounds like they are on top of things

where you are getting treatment!

Let us know when you are going to start the chemo.

Prayers in hand,

Pam
