Is this normal?
Hi Ladies,
Well, I started chemo last Tuesday for mets to bones and lungs. Chemo is chychlo??? and doxyrub???
Have been really well, still mowing lawn, tending to my menagerie of animals etc.
Today however, I have had a few nosebleeds, feel shaky and my back pain is excruciating.
I realise I am at day 10 of my cycle now so my cell count will be down and this could be the shakiness. I am wondering if chemo is supposed to ease pain?
Perhaps only 10 days into the whole thing is a bit soon to expect anything but I do worry that if I am in pain, it is not working.
Have been quite optimistic but the uncertain is playing with my mind now. Also, am waiting for hair to come out. I know I have been ready for this on the outside for many months since my whole saga began with my initial diagnosis 11 months ago, but I think I am going to lose it emotionally when it does happen.
I am interested to know how other ladies perhaps in my circumstance get by ( 39 years breast cancer 11 months ago, now have in lungs and bones).
Also my lungs give me absolutely no symptoms at all and am scared that the chemo which is destroying the good stuff is gonna create problems in the lungs.
I wish you all the best.
