2nd AC Chemo
Hi All. Had my second AC chemo today and really don't feel well. First time was OK. Have drunk heaps of water and taken maxolon tab. Very dizzy as well. ANy ideas. Neutrophils were 0.2 on Friday...

Hi - hope you're making the most of the resting, I found each round of AC hit me a little harder, and had dizzy and shortness of breath spells a little more each time... I did notice that on the third run, when I figured out to snack on little bits of food each hour, that I didn't need the extra anti-nausea meds - the ones that were optional on top of the Dexmethosone. All of a sudden my dizzy and breathlessness cleared itself up and I haven't had it back since ... so for me I think the APO-Metoclopramide optional extra meds they gave me were the ones causing the problem (or making it more pronounced) maybe just one bit of chemical too far - it is a noted side effect for that drug, so you never know ... saying that it's toying up the balance with the feeling sick ... If I hadn't got that under control I think would have stuck with the extra meds and lived with the dizzy! Good luck and hope you find your balance, it's not easy, and they're just not nice drugs regardless,
Sending hugs
