    Lol @Spiv1803, love the faaarrrkkk.  It may not be as bad as you think. I was petrified of chemo, turned out to be doable. I was severely constipated on ac  chemo, just make sure you stay on top of that.

    @Spiv1803 good luck with it all!  Listen to what they are telling you and more importantly speak up if you are uncomfortable or missed an instruction et cetera  Tomorrow will be here soon enough and then you can start counting them down!

    Hi there @RubyRumble I had 4 rounds of AC chemo and 4 rounds of paclitaxol both 2 weeks apart. It's called dose dense or some shit like that!  Shitty but doable does that make sense ...  and thinking of you tomorrow @Spiv1803. I farrrkkkkiiiinnngggg love the way you say that❤️

    Hey everybody,  thanks for the advice and comments, just shows that I'm not alone after all  (shock  horror).
    I'm on day 5 or 6 atm, started Wednesday so not sure how they count it... day 3 had a bit of a panic attack getting in the shower still feel blah, mostly tired, shitty, no energy, headaches,  constipated,  fuzzy head and right now, a little motion sickness. 

    Mornings are ok.
    1 down, 7 to go. Aaarrrggghhh

    @Spiv1803, I was very constipated on ac  chemo. I took coloxyl tablets every night and that helped. Fatigue got me too very badly. Your never alone here.

    If you are taking steroids to help combat nausea, they do tend to cause constipation. I found prunes and fat free yoghurt worked pretty well.
