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 Scalena, I've just had my 2nd cycle of FEC. I, too, dread nausea at the best of times. My experience has been a migraine (to which I must now admit I'm prone), starting 1&1/2-2 hours post completion of chemo. 2nd cycle I had my magic migraine medocation, so I actually mana aged work the next day. I haven't tended to get much nausea until day 4 or 5. I've managed it with maxalon, Eno, ginger beer or hot ginger cordial. Anything I eat is savoury. Ask all the questions you can tomorrow, & as everyone says, make note of all symptoms & side effects to discuss with you team. Above all, if something seems excessive or out of the ordinary, don't wait for the next cycle, ring someone to talk about it. All the best, Lyn
