      She'll be fine.. No need to worry.. I'm usually smiling and in a good mood at my sessions... I've had 32 rounds, and I'll be on it 4 life... It's just part of life for me..I don't have any fear or worries... Don't listen to the fools that try to scare others... It's really not that bad...I have stage 4 Breast Cancer.

    Thank God I just happened to come across this video. I'm about to start my chemo early this month and I didn't know what to expect. The anxiety has been rampant for days.

    I didn't do chemotherapy, but a therapie that works kinda siminilar, also trough an infusion for a few hours. I will have to that therapy every 6 months. I have learned to mealprep before that so i don't have to cook afterwards when i might be tired, and also that way a have multiple, healthy options to choose from, because i never know how my energy levels are going to be afterwards and what foods i might crave or dislike afterwards. Also i try to do as much cleaning as i can before the therapy, so i can vome home to a clean home, and don't have to do any chores and can just sleep if i feel like it

    wish i saw this before i started chemo. 9 months later i was told it was gone. found its back last week. and started chemo again. it hurts. the meds dont work for me. im constantly vomiting. normally in the middle of the night. i have had been threaten when i ask a person to wear a mask. im so tired of it. almost to the point of stopping treatment. i have 2 covid vaccinations. but the doctor see after my first treatments, last month. my antibodies were really low. i dont think i will die of cancer but covid. the going to give me two more booster shots. ( here in spain) im sad, depressed and alone. i dont think i have the energy for life anymore. im not going to kill myself. but i wish i would just die already. i think i need my antidepressant changed or raise the doses. i just cant stop crying, my head is about to explode.

    Please my first and 6th experience was and still is terrible…I was nauseated I went home with neuropathy can’t drink cold water for days I got diarrhea my smelling sense got stronger and every time I go it’s worse plus the depression I feel for days…like no other weakness this lasts around 9 days and when your finally recovering it’s time to go back to get your next round… I get the one called "the red Devil”
