Dear Gisela,
You have chemo to stop the cancer from spreading and to shrink the tumor. Chemo prevents cell from growing and multiplying and spreading to other parts of the body. Most people do not have reaction to chemo, as you are given prior to treatment some drug to prevent nausea and allergic reactions, you will feel tired in a few days, this is normal, then your body will pick up again. They will take a blood test in 3 weeks before your next chemo to make sure your white blood count is high enough. Keep positive and in your mind see this chemo killing your cancer, you will make it Gisela, it is a long road, it is a temporary thing, it is a small price to pay for all the good it can accomplish. I will be starting a support group for cancer patients, at the Jewish Hospital, I was asked to do this for our French patients, I hope I will be good, so if you need anything or have questions I will be happy to answer you and get the right advice.
You can call me anytime should you worry about something. Keep well and a big hug.
Marielle
