Re: Just Getting Started

Stephen, glad you found us, sorry you had to. Of course she is scared, you too, probably
But we are here to help you We have all been where Jane is now. Getting dumped into cancer land without a road map It will begin to sort itself out and a routine will form, believe it or not! You get into the rhythm of this "new normal"
So far it looks like she is on a standard, proven protocol.
Side effects vary with each person and there are meds to counteract them. She should report these to her team so she can get them under control
I know that others here will be along to offer support
Keep the faith
