I feel a bit like the new girl at school. On all my visits so far everyone seems to know each other. I've met a couple of lovely people in the hospitals McMillan centre so not worried about getting to know people.
Does anyone have any tips on what I should take with me and ways to make the process a bit easier.
I'm having radiotherapy Monday-Friday with chemo on Tuesdays. So I think Tuesday will be a long day. Do I take lunch?, will I even want lunch.
Is it really as awful as it seems. Sad

Come over to the tamoxifen thread and everyone will give you lots of support ( you don't have to be taking tamoxifen it's for all different types of cancer )
I'm having chemo for breast cancer at the mo and in the unit is a fridge with sandwiches, fruit, biscuits etc to help yourself too and you are given tea and coffee
I'd take some snacks you like just in case though and something to read or watch
Good luck with it all I've found chemo so far to be nowhere near as bad as a feared but it is different for everyone
