Chemo on Friday
Hi all,
I am having my first chemo on Friday. Three cycles of Fec (whatever that is) then three of T to the best of my understanding. Information day is on Wednesday, hopefully I'll understand mor...
Hi Scelena,
i had FEC too for 6 months . It's three different chemo drugs. F is Fluorouracil also called 5FU, E is Epirubicin and C is Cyclophosphamide. They are very powerful drugs. The nausea drugs I was given worked very well and I had no problems the entire 6 months with nausea. Unfortunately, I had other things like mouth problems which were very painful, but with medication were manageable most of the time. I didn't eat a lot and had no energy. This was the worst time in my life but it's been a year since then and my hair has grown back and some energy too. Tastes buds change too - I couldn't really taste anything - all bland and tasted the same. But you do come through it and I hope your successful in your battle with the cancer. Take care xx Beppie
