All happening too fast

Nacho like to encourage you I had TNBC and 6 nodes involved went thru chemo similar to your regime then radiation this week I had my 4 year review and I am happy to say no evidence of disease..(NED) so do each day or hour as you need to and stay away from newly immunized people and people who are sick in any way.

I had chemo TC on Wednesday. At the moment  I can eat sugar starch and some dairy. Basically I'm down to boiled spuds and icecream... It does get better for me on about day 10. The pain is not uncommon, particularly if you are cooking a bit of a sinus thing. I like pain pills so will happily take them if I think it will make life easier. I'm on Targin to manage the joint and muscle pain and Claratin for Neulasta bone pain. You may have to contend with that next round if your white cells are really crashing. 

Look after yourself. Sometimes chemo can be a bit inconvenient (my experience 10 years ago) sometimes it can be completely debilitating. You can't predict how you'll go and  you have to take the ride you are on. Adjust everything else around it, the cleaning will wait. Its unlikely that anyone will starve to death if you don't cook. I package the dogs dinners into takeaway containers 5 days in advance and just chuck it in the general direction of the mutt once a day.
 Keep anyone sick or sniffly away from you. Being vulnerable to infection can be handy if you are as grumpy as me--great way to keep unwanted guests away. 

Hi all,

Havent been here for a while caught up with too many appoinyments etc, just to give you an update of my condition, I am triple negative with 5 lympnodes involved as you all know i had my left breast re moved... My ct scan and bone scan are clear ( thank god) .. 
 
I started my first cycle of chemo on 1/30/17  i will have 4 cycles then 12x weekly AC then T so far so good but yesterday i had to go to emergency as my temperature gone up to 37.c and i am still in the hospital under observation my white cells were low too and i have pain on my  left jaw and gums does anyone ever experienced this? Any advise you can give me on how to get through this and things i need to avoid etc during chemo period 

Thanks ladies

Hi all,

Thank you. Yes I have been doing my exercise. Mel good luck to your upcoming surgery and I wish you a speedy recovery too. You can do it!!! 

Merry christmas ladies

Well I just lost my whole post - blasted iPhone!!!
i completely agree with Brenda, do your exercises as often as you can. After the first 2 weeks I also made up some new ones to add to the rotation depending on where I was feeling tight.  You will need to sleep on your back for a while and it will help to surround yourself with lots of pillows and prop yourself up a bit. When you are able to lie on your right side, sleep with a very soft cushion or pillow under your left arm to stop the pressure and your arm rolling forward.
Hold this soft pillow under your left arm when you are sitting during the day - it will lessen the nerve pain you will feel down the inside of your arm from the sentinel node biopsy.
I hope you continue to recover well, you are off to a great start. Things are a bit different out of hospital - make sure you rest when you need to!
Please let us know when you receive your results.  Look after yourself. Merry Christmas!
