Hi
just reading the great messages- i was diagnosed in march this year and had a right masectomy and lymph node removal in two operations. now i am about to have my fourth and last AC chemo before 3 FM chemo and radiotherapy.
I too have needed some relaxing drugs before i go to chemo, the headaches and feeling sick start the day before. I suffer badly the first week with indigestion, constipation, and nausea- i think the nausea is the worst. Oh and I forgot teary. I take so many pills to stop everything I feel like I rattle. I wonder what all these extra drugs are doing to me.
i am enjoying the other weeks but the chemo seems to come aorund very fast and I am always thinking of it. I know I have to keep going as my prognosis is good - if I have treatment.
