Chemo 3, day 7

Chemo 3, day7 Thursday 3rd March, 2016. Feeling much better today. Yesterday was don't poke the bear day. For some reason not even the really strong pain killers would work and I was in agony all day. I almost rang the ambos at 6pm but it started to come good from then on thank goodness. It was like someone was twisting every bone in my body and my heart and head was just pounding and head ache constantly. Nasty stuff.

  • Sorry you're having a rough time Brenda! But you know you will be ok! We must weather the storm to view that rainbow!

  • Don't be scared Eileen, I think its the white blood cells being made in the long bones which technically means I am healing and will have better disease resistance again. Just seems to want to darned well do it all at once for me on the 6th day which is the pits. Couldn't it average it out a bit? lol

  • Brenda I am really sorry to hear you was in so much pain.

    We had just been discussing chemo & the side effects last night & I find the thought quite scary.

    I know we do not have much choice in the matter as it is helping us kill the strays, it's just so sad that we have to put up with the effects.

    I meet with the chemo oncologist on Monday & can honestly say I am not looking forward to it, i think it will just be to talk about what drugs they will be giving me when I start my chemo. I also have an appointment with the radiation oncologist on the 16th. We are hoping they will let me get over the axillary clearance before they start.

    Wishing a good day for you today & sending plenty of hugs your way.

    Eileen xx
