Round 1, Ding ding
C Day is here. First round of chemo today, and I really just want it over with.
The last month it has been so easy to live in my little bubble of denial, I feel fine, yep I've had a big chunk cut out my boob, but not 1 day since I first found this inconvenient lump have I felt sick/unwell/not able to lead my normal life. I really hope that my beautiful bubble isn't about to be popped by a needle with lots of not so nice drugs!
So today we get to have my heart scan done first up, just because these wonderful meds could possibly damage that as well! Then an app with Dr Murray and this time I do have a few questions after that I'm allowed to get comfy in a big chair for a few hours while the Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide are leached into my system. I have my fingers and toes crossed that the side effects are bearable. I will let you all know!
So far I have been told to expect to loose my hair, I might have diarrhoea or constipation, I may gain weight or lose weight!! I will prob feel pretty tired and may feel nauseous! Nothing quite like covering every option!
So, bring it on - Round 1!!
