First chemo TCH

Hi all, had my first TCH chemo yesterday. It went well I just had a bit reaction after 5 min with docetaxel. My face and head felt really hot and heavy pressure on chest. Told the nurse immediately and was managed by I think hydrocortisone.? Not sure what it was n I forgot to ask. 

Afterwards everything went smoothly. At home I felt OK just feeling a bit bloated and a bit of reflux and burping non stop ??

overall it wasn't bad at all today. If I could feel this way all the way through it would b fabulous...fingers crossed ?... although I'm wondering how would I feel tomorrow because I think dexamethasone been helping me with my energy and I will b without it tomorrow...not that I want to have it because it made me constipated ???? tonight I have to also have the neulasta injection and side effect will b aching bones ???? would appreciate if anyone can tell me their experiences. Till then enjoy the weather...it's been nice weather today here in Sydney ?? hugs, Liana xoxo

    Hi Liana,

    I had my first chemo yesterday as well which was TCH, I was so scared but everything went very smoothly I had nor reactions at all throught the 5 hour treatment. I found I was very tired when I got home but I think that was just after the build up of all the nerves and it being such a long day. When I went to bed I did manage to get a couple of hours sleep but then woke up during the night and found I could not get comfy so hoped up and snuggled on  the couch and stared into the fire and watched Columbo. Now today I am feeling pretty good no side effects yet :) Hope everything is going well for you, Im sure we will have lots of good and bad days but we just have to go with it all.

    sending hugs 

    Michele

    xoxo
