Night after chemo
Hi everyone
Thank u so much for all your kind responses and invaluable advice.
I think it is really the fear of the unknown regarding the chemo.
I had a lovely nurse who explained everything to me...
Hi Linda,
Yes most of us have a lack of sleep but after a week it may settle I take nigh cup at night which help me to get a few more hours sleep, I also try to stay away during the day if I can.
with food department you will find your taste buds changed and the sickeness stay for about 3 days and then settle a bit, I eat with plastic knife and forks to avoid the metal feeling that increase with normal cuttlery it works, I eat what the body tell me sometimes avocado, other ham but plenty of fruit to sude the mouth I take frozen yogurt which help.
Have plenty of rest, I also drink lost of fluid, after 8 days max you will more normal but stay tired. just go with the flow at the beggining I used to fighted but now thing don't mater as much I have a4 FEC and then 12 chemo each week of something else.
Please rest a lot it does help even if you dont sleep, today you will have more enegy and is then when we do house work, and others things get used to good day and bad days and good luck hope this help a bit
