Victoria Derbyshire felt 'low and disconsolate' after chemotherapy.

BBC presenter Victoria Derbyshire revealed she felt “low and disconsolate”, as she underwent her first cycle of chemotherapy.

The 47-year-old journalist will have five further sessions of the treatment over the coming months, followed by radiotherapy, after she was diagnosed with breast cancer in July. She had a mastectomy in September.

In a video diary, which aired on her BBC Two show, Victoria admitted she had “a fear of the unknown” as she sat in a hospital bed, wearing a cold cap, on November 4.

“While the drugs were pushed into me, it felt absolutely alright. What does feel weird to me is the cold cap and the temperature, which is freezing obviously, and that has given me a headache. It makes me feel sleepy and dozy,” she said.
