First chemo done
We'll,i got through my first chemo and I am sitting in bed wide awake as usual!However I think this will be worse because apparently the medicine that they give you keeps you awake for a good part of ...
Glad you got through your first chemo ok.Gotta love that dex pill,you'll be bouncing off the ceiling tonight. I had TC chemo combo and by about day 3-6 I had headaches,muscle/bone pain and my mouth felt like it was lined with fur. I basically felt like roadkill and curled up under the doona for 3 days.I could only drink lemon cordial and eat lemonade iceblocks,vegie soup and crackers. My hair started falling out about day 16. I didn't have FEC so I can't compare it with TC. Everyone is different though -some women breeze through it and others,like me,struggle with the side effects.You'll probably know by day 3 how TC is going to affect you.Good luck darl with getting at least SOME sleep tonight.- Tonya xx
