A C Chemo
Today is my 1st cycle of A C chemo, to say i'm nervous is really an understatement. I have already had a good cry & am trying my best to be brave, but it is so hard when you don't know how each indi...
I have to say it was no where near as bad as I thought it was going to be. I made sure I was given plenty of anti nausea drugs. They did have a problem with the port, the 1st needle that went in flushed OK but as no blood returned they took it out & stabbed me again. No blood again so an RN was called who flushed it, still no blood, but as the flushing was working they went ahead with the chemo.
The only affect I had is an on/off headache which is manageable & I feel a bit tired. They have given me an emla patch for next time which will be good.
Thank you for all your comments I found they did help me a lot & I was less anxious.
