I\'m new

I just joined this group today (March 9th) my first and maybe only group.  I had my colon removed (except a small portion above the rectum) 7 weeks ago.  My chemo treatments were supposed to have already started but I have had two health problems that have pushed my chemo back to next week so that I could recoup from those illnesses.  I've heard alot of stories about how bad chemo can be, so I'm scared.  My treatments will be for 6 months, twice a month.  I am stage 3, it has spread to at least one lymph node that we know of.  I just want to be able to get through this chemo as possitive as I can be (they say that helps ? )  I'm trying to be mentally and physically strong to prepare for next weeks first treatment.    Thanks for listening.
