Hi Breda,
chemo is nothing like on the movies. My first chemo I kinda felt a bit off in the tummy for a few days, then thought "what, is that it?" First dose was easy for me & ive heard others say the same thing. Each dose after that is not so easy & that's where you'll learn how your body copes in your own way. If I had 2 tips they'd be -
1 take the anti nausea meds whether you feel nauseous or not
2 drink lots & lots of water, at least 2 litres a day.
be kind to yourself and allow yourself to rest when you need it. Hope all goes well for your first dose. Keep in touch, Tracey ??
