Treatment was a challenging process - chemotherapy, surgery (double mastectomy and reconstruction), and I can’t forget the countless doctor visits. Each step had its own set of challenges. Chemotherapy was physically and emotionally draining. I was given lots of advice and information about the side effects, and though they were tough because of my amazing treatment team, they were manageable. Yes, my hair fell out (thank goodness for wigs), and I had days when my stomach couldn’t hold things, but the fatigue was like nothing I had ever experienced. I am 46 years old and was used to having so much energy, but now I have none. I was also sad that my taste had changed, and nothing I loved to eat tasted the same; everything was different. This was tough because I love food! Everyone’s experience with chemo is different, and I learned this through this process.
