First chemo
started steroids day before my first chemo which was yesterday. 5 hours of TAC. All went pretty smoothly, nurse Emma was exceptional. I drank plenty while on drip (having to go to the toilet a few times!) nurses said that helped to flush everything through. Got home, felt fine then got a tightening in chest which I had never had before. My dr had warned me that the steroids could cause heartburn so decided to take the mylanta which he had suggested. After about an hour it subsided. I had thought it might also be a bit of anxiety due to all the build up of the commencing treatment and the fact that my mother in law a few days ago fell and broke her hip and have to have a hip replacement (in the same hospital I was at fortunately) but she will have to come and stay with us for a fortnight as she is on her own. Just another stress to think about. But today I feel quite well, just resting. My poor husband will have a lot of running about to do.
