To add to the mix, I tell people to keep a journal of symptoms so you can talk to your oncologist about what happened after each cycle. I had trouble remembering. I also wrote down if my temperature spiked, as well as my weight each day, but that is because of other surgeries.
You have a very steep learning curve ahead of you. Write down questions you want to ask your oncologist. Don’t be afraid to ask them anything.
The treatment will finally end. Look forward to that day. You will return to a new normal eventually. Your support group around you will be important. Make sure you tell them what’s going on. If it’s taxol/carboplatin it always took a week for me to feel better, but days 3/4 were the worst.
As has been mentioned, everyone is different. You will respond in the way that your body is tuned to cope. I have relied on God’s grace for me for over 15 years, with more recurrences of the disease than most other ladies. It has returned yet again, which means more chemotherapy for me too. I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
