Hi everyone who supported me during my first week or so on this site. I have just emerged from over week of a fog of chemo nausea, fatigue, shakiness, bone and skin soreness. On top of that I had my seroma drained the day after chemo (which I am never agreeing to again). That cause so much pain, think the idiot Dr at the radiology place did it out of my breast scar as my surgeon had not caused that much pain the first time. That meant taking some Oxycodone again, so double the constipation!! Am determined the next round on Oct 4 will see me recover more quickly! Am I being over optimistic?
Has anyone had small red, blistery spots all over their body, along with red splodges without the blisters after either chemo or Oxycodone? My husband reminded me I had some in hospital after one of my operations so more likely to be the oxy!
Also, even though I began feeling better yesterday (one week and one day after chemo) I have been shaky with tremors throughout my body. My mother has a tremor she takes medication for (it's called an essential tremor, altho why its called that I have no idea) and my sister and I started to notice slight signs of it after age 55. It was only in the head/neck and we have never sought medication. When given Cyclozine for my 2 ops (mastectomy and axilla lymph node removal) I had terrible hallucinations and tremors throughout my body which has now been attributed to that drug and on my next op to get my portacath it was noted as an allergy, not given and so I didn't have those reactions. Therefore I have eliminated that. So, my question is, does anyone think it is related to the chemotherapy drugs, Doxorubicin or cyclophosphamide? If not, I can try to eliminate the essential tremor by getting medication from my GP.
Have already had to get in touch with my oncologist to OK use of anti virals for cold sores, so don't want to ring him again. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, hope everyone is enjoying some sun this weekend! (Well, not those of us who are sun sensitive!!haha!,)
