CHEMO

Hi Ladies,

First round of chemo done & dusted. It was so not the MONSTER I had created in my head, I had my Husband there to support me & my oncology nurses were brilliant so kind & caring nothing to much trouble also my beautiful mum was waiting for me when I got home, which was very comforting,I am felling quite light headed & drained but apart from that fine am  hoping for not too many side affects but will deal with it as it comes.

Take care

Robyn

  • Hi Robyn-lee,

    I to had my first chemo this week and I'm so glad with how it all went 1 down 5 to go, I have not had much side effects either and my wonderful husband was right by my side and the nurses were amazing the fear of the unknown is gone the fatigue gets to you but you need to be kind to yourself now you rest up and look after yourself sending a cuddle and a smile.

  • Hi Jane,

    So far only light headed & fuzzy so hopefully not to many side affects.Once the first one is done I think you feel a bit better about the process it is no longer the unknown..

    Take care

  • Hi Robyn, so glad to hear that all went well :-) Here's hoping you don't have too many side effects but if you do have anything that worries you don't hesitate to call your oncologist or the oncology unit. Best wishes, Jane xx

  • Hi Robyn-Lee,

    Congratulations! You have taken the first big step in your battle against cancer.  I remember feeling elated after my first treatment.  Take it easy over the next few days... technically your body has been "poisoned" so you won't be feeling like your normal self.  Be kind to yourself and be patient with your recovery, it will take as long as it takes.
