My Story
My partner happened to come accoss an odd bump on my left breast as we were cuddling one night on the couch. No funny business I promise :) It was quite firm, so he insisted I see a doctor about it. ...

HI HLV
Was only thinking about you last night and wondered how you were going. Yep yep yep, I had the foggy brain and little things would cause me so much confusion. Then I would panic that I was confused. My sister would say just ring up and make an appointment (so something or other) and I couldn't think how to find the number, or what I should say when they answered? Try not to panic (I did) and know that it does pass.
Like you, I had a allergic reaction to Maxalon (anti nausea) and was very ill for the first chemo only. The first one was terrible for me too, but the rest were slightly easier and I only had the reaction to the first one only, so hopefully they will get your meds under control and the next 5 will be plain sailing.
thankyou for letting us know how you are going, I have a friend starting chemo later this month so it is great for others to read some of the side effects (although not pleasant). I think if you can relate to others, at least you know that it is normal (ish).
Enjoy your good days and try and get to the beach more, I found wearing sunglasses also helped with the sun and fogginess too.
Stay strong.
