Getting ready for Chemo, any advice?
Hi beautiful women, I’m new here, I’m a 33yo mum with 3 kids, recently diagnosed with hormone +, stage 3, grade 3. Had a double mastectomy and lymph nodes removed on the 30/3, going to see the oncolog...
Hello @Sabina33! I finished chemo a few weeks ago. I had EC it’s like AC, then paclitaxel. I found that by the end the first cycle of EC, I had a “pattern” of fatigue days and better days that stayed pretty much the same for all four cycles. That helped a lot with planning.
Some side effects were not that constant such as nausea, constipation or diarrhoea and I took it one day at a time and adjusted my meds as required.
I drank like a fish which took some getting used to. It’s worth it. Any fluids like water, cordial, teas, chai and infusions helped to mix it up a bit. Good luck! Lots of hugs Tinks xx
