3rd round of chemo
I had my 3rd shot of FEC 5FU and im fine! I was reading storys of it being the worst, but this was my best! Maybe because i had it in Bairnsdale instead of travelling al the way to sale, and the unit...
I take 2 x 4mg Dexamethasone, at breakfast and lunch the day before, the day of and the day after each chemo. I was told not to take my 2nd dose after 2pm because it can keep you awake.
I don't have any real side effects from it, it can still sometimes make sleep difficult, but that is a small price to pay for what it can stop... Allergic reaction and swelling (after the chemo, of legs, arms, abdomen, body, and around heart etc)
