Dayzeroze - Welcome honey! So glad you decided to post. The women here are wonderful and very supportive.
What is the length of your Chemo? Chemo can be tough but is doable. Make sure you talk to your Oncologist about any side effects, your doctor and Chemo Nurses are your team and there to help you get thru.
Love your "Make the best out of what life hands you and smile about it" you sound as if you have a great attitude and it will carry you through.
Come here often!

Hello Dayzerose, Welcome to our ILC group. It sounds like you are having a very rough time of it with chemo. I know it can be very, very hard. It was for me. I was not the person who was jogging and going to work! The good news is it will end and you will be in a better place. Hopefully you are not trying to be too much of a superwoman. It's hard with children in the house, but you need time to just crash, and to be cared for. I'm glad you decided to post here on our ILC thread. We ILC sisters are a unique group in some ways. There is lots of support on the many threads as I'm sure you've found if you've been "snooping the boards". (I love the way you said that.) I hope you will come here and share and let us help. Hugs. G.

Hi,
Welcome to our ILC club. I'm going thru chemo now too and know how miserable it makes you. I go for the 6th treatment next week and I'm dreading it. What kind of chemo are you getting. I'm on Taxotere now and already completed AC. I am dong chemo before surgery so I have that ahead of me too. This is a great place to vent and learn as well as make lots of new friends. I don't know what I would do without these ladies. Good luck with your treatments.
Take care,
Nancy
