The first chemotherapy appointment is especially daunting so we’ve put together a quick checklist list from our experience as patients, of what to expect together with some tips to make it more comfortable.
It will be OK! And remember that each chemo cycle is one down and you are closer to the end of treatment.
If you need to have immunity boosting injections – holding a bag of frozen veg on the area to numb it before you do the injection, is said to help (thanks to one of our Twitter followers for this gem of advice).
Future Dreams hold a range of support groups, classes, workshops and events to help you and your carers during your breast cancer diagnosis. These are held both online and in person at the London-based Future Dreams House. To see what’s on offer and to book your place, see here.

Sylvie and Danielle began Future Dreams with just £100 in 2008. They believed nobody should face breast cancer alone. Their legacy lives on in Future Dreams House. We couldn’t continue to fund support services for those touched by breast cancer, raise awareness of breast cancer and promote early diagnosis and advance research into secondary breast cancer without your help.
