When I was diagnosed with breast cancer at only 24 years old and my oncologist said I had to do chemotherapy, I didn’t even know what the hell that meant! Being young, healthy with no history of cancer in my family, I knew nothing about breast cancer let alone its treatments. That’s what scared me the most. The fear of the unknown.
I remember searching online to see what to expect and being traumatized by the results. Everything scared the shit out of me! It was either too depressing or too cheesy, overloaded with pink ribbons and pictures of old ladies. I just couldn’t relate!
The best guidance I ever received was from other young breast cancer patients slightly ahead of me in treatment. They helped me to better understand my diagnosis, treatments and options way more than my own Oncologist .
I want to give you that same guidance! Real and honest experiences with helpful tips and tricks to get you through this roller coaster ride of a life! After 16 rounds of chemo, I’ve learnt a lot! And lucky for you, my entire experience is documented in my blog Nalie.ca. But in this guide what I do is provide real depth, by breaking down all the essentials and shining light on the areas that are not so easy to discuss.
On top of this, I feel honored to have had the chance to connect and interview over 50 inspirational young breast cancer survivors, aged 23-42 from all around the world. I call these ladies NALIE’S ANGELS, my guardians and messengers of hope! Together we created the perfect chemo guide to help you get through chemo like a boss!
Everything from what to expect on chemo day, what to bring to the hospital, how to prepare for hair loss, how to fake your eyebrows, how to tie a headscarf, all the dos and the don’ts as well as topics about sex and infertility that are often left out, are all in this guide.
Chemo Secrets is our way of letting you know that you are not alone in this fight! If we can do it, so can you!
