Hi Fiona, I am not on AC, but from Chemo 1 I had hot flushes and also redness flares on my face especially under my eyes (like a red panda) and my chest as well. I found that the skin under my eyes got very very dry and sensitive so make sure you moisturise really well and look after your skin. It makes a world of difference - also get as much water as you can into your body - like 2-3L ! it flushes out the system and helps along the way - i have done. Myhair started to come out about day 5-6. That was the most confronting thing for me as it came out in big clumps in my hands. It's awful. I had shortish hair and decided to keep it as it came out cause it was nice to have a bit of hair around the side of my face and sticking out of the bottom of my beanie! I hope you are oK on the other side effects - it really kicks in on days 3-5 for me, I have just had round 5 this week - so i am feeling your pain this week. But it does pass! Even though right now you think it won't! xx
i am on
- Fiona_46MemberThanks, I do get a similar reaction to certain wines so maybe some ingredient in chemo giving me hot flushes so soon. After four cycles of dense two weekly of Ac I'll be on weekly taxol & three weekly Herceptin, 30 cycles of radiation & 10 years of hormone treatment at the end. But I'll do what I have to to beat this.
- Liztay82MemberHello yes I had ac and experienced a hot flush and my hair started to fall out about day 12ish just keep a eye on temp but I did get the hot flushes I'm currently finished ac now and now onto taxol/hepectiob
