Chemo Day 1
Hi everyone.
I thought i would give you a heads up about my chemo today. Firstly i did kick its butt after the 1st hour. The 1st hour was the hardest as i chose the cold cap. I had snug warm blankets but oh my head killed. Had Panadol and then had some drug adavan oj I cannot remember. Once i had that i was fine. Went to the toilet alot with all the fluids. At home im ok. Headache and a bit nauseas.
Love to you all xx

- Day 2 overnight..has been awful
My headache is awful and the nausea not abating. Lots of water. Ginger biscuit. Just called rooms to see if i can take something stronger for headache relief..temp normal. Trying to stay strong xxx
Thanks @Eastmum - So awesome @Trikki2 - you sound like you’re slaying this big time!
Just re: drinking water. I went from a 2litre a day guzzler to not being able to drink water at all because I can’t bear the taste of it! So I’ve been experimenting with lots of things. Pieces of lemon or lime help a bit but I’ve finally succumbed to a drop of lemon barley or lime juice cordial. I was trying to avoid the sugar but I’ve found that literally a few drops is enough to make a difference and the fact that I can now drink water easily is probably of more benefit than a bit of sugar!
Best of luck with it all and keep us updated!
Xxxxx - Thanks @onemargie
I certainly have a lovely group of friends surrounding me. So true you know who is there for you. Thanks for your kind words xxx
TRIKKI2 - @Trikki2 it’s great you have got through your first round. It means you’re well on the way to kicking breast cancer right in the balls. Well done. Be kind to yourself delegate if needed accept help if it’s offered. Trust me people only offer if they want too. You will see who you’re true friends are and might be surprised by those who you don’t expect to step up and give you a hand will and sometimes those you exepect too are full of shit and don’t. If that happens don’t take it personally. They just don’t know how to deal with it and that’s ok. Big hug. Margie xxx

- @Joanie thats a great idea. I wqs wondering how i would remember.
- Hello @Trikki2
Well done, so glad to hear that all went well with your first treatment. As everyone has said, look after yourself, rest if you need to and keep up your fluids. Take care of you - I found Pramin to be excellent.
