2 chemos down 4 to go.....
Found out my first 3 rounds of chemo will be using the drugs FEC. So after my first chemo I started to feel sick as soon as I got in the car and continued for the next week, really bad nausea, letharg...
I too am in Cairns and find it way to hot for a wig, although my hair has started to grow back (finished chemo Oct 26), even wearing a hat is uncomfortable but I do wear one when in the sun even if it is for a short period.
Was amazed to hear the Cancer Council don't do the wig voucher anymore.
I found cold lemonade really good to sip on as well as lemonade iceblocks, dry crackers, dry toast. I did crave bread for a while, strange as I am not a big bread eater. I put on 5kgs but also put that down my chemo TCH. Am happy putting on weight as I have always been on the slim side, When I first went to my surgeon I weighed 59kgs so that extra is just good.
Hope you travelling well with your next rounds of Chemo.
