My first week after 1st round of Chemo
Hi Ladies,
I've had it okay till yesterday, starting to feel nausious more often but not vomiting thank god for that, I'm starting to feel pain in my limbs and muscles but the chemo surses told...
I remember that feeling well. Aching all over. Be kind to yourself. Take the pain relief. I used to gargle salt water or bicarbonate and water to try and keep my mouth throat etc ok. That's if you can tolerate it. Keep an eye on your temp. I remember lying on my daughters hammock with a book on those really off days and reading a book. Pretending I was at a resort. Once the hair is all gone you will actually feel better. I am actually at the hairdressers at the moment and my dear hairdresser came to my house and shaved my head when it started coming out in clumps.
Remeber to keep telling yourself "this too shall pass". That was one of my mantras when I was feeling off. It does pass.
Hugs.
