Hi annmac, I was diagnosed with bowel cancer 14th Feb last year, had an operation end of March last year and after healing, went onto chemo and the 3 week cycle I had 8 cycles. I think I was quite lucky and never had any major effects during the chemo treatment, what I did learn was that after each cycle you learn what is good for you, and how you react, so you know when to plan things, what makes things go better ? what takes away any nausea or sickness if you experience any. What I never realised during this was how taking medication can be such a chore!! but as I said you will pick up your little treats that make you feel better . Just stay strong and don't let the medication take control of you ... Good luck and as Virgo said "Kick Cancers Behind"

Thank you smudger6720 I get what your saying . I think I will be OK once I get started on course. If I've learned anything from this journey is to stop 'what iffing' sometimes when you get there its not as bad as you thought. As you say I'm sure I'll find my way through it. Good to have the kind words and encouragement from this forum. Take care stay safe.
