First chemo date

Hi Leila, so sorry that you have to have chemo. I had FEC in 2007 and my body didnt handle it at all for two reasons

1. I was being cared for by my 80yo parents and i didn't take the anti nausea medication as directed. Make sure you take it before you start feeling sick

2. I have had trouble with throwing up from birth. If you have a wobbly stomach be extra vigilent with how much you eat while its being administered

3  i have tiny veins - if you do too, maybe try to talk them into putting in the port before your first FEC because it can hurt

4 my darling husband had died so i didnt have as much to fight for. 

All the best Leila, take your partner's hand and think of all the great times youre going to have next year when its all behind you ??
