    The answer of course is a second yes....If you dont want to go to emergency try and see a gp they can guide you in the right direction. I was always able to ring the chemo nurse or oncologist office to pass on a message. 
    Sorry chemo is not being kind to you...oh well thats how it is sometimes.

    Definitely go to er. I had a heart attack last year at age 42. I waited 7hrs before I bothered to go. Better safe than sorry.

    @Hendrix, glad you went in, even if it's a false alarm . I'm fine now minus the bc of course. Tell us how you get on. I'm hoping it turns out to be nothing.

    Hope all is well @Hendrix. Good to get these things checked out. I had lots of aches in my breastbone during chemo, which was quite disconcerting.

    Great to get it checked out. I've had issues with an irregular heartbeat since chemo.

    How did you get on @Hendrix? I hope all is well.
    so glad you got checked, I think the specialists prefer to see a 1000 false alarms!

    Hey Hendrix, good to hear. I know what you mean about the taste of water. Everything tastes foul.

    @Hendrix I had the same trouble with water with chemo the metallic taste terrible. However I found in the supermarket two cordials one lemon the other apple very good. They were free of preservatives etc all anatural. I found if I tried normal cordials or icypoles I reacted to sugar and preservatives. Normally I usually eat anything.
    Thats a another thing I found fruit sorbets (in supermarket) very good for keeping up fluids.Again had to be pure ingredients before I could tolerate them.

    I had soda or mineral water with lemon. Normal water made me feel sick.

    I tollerated a few cordials or the cheap chilled 25% juices. Loaded with sugar, but was better than dehydration.
