You are rocking that look Kim J  take your meds to keep the nausea away and you will get there .... remember each chemo done is one less to go :D 

Hi all, just an update, had 7 days in total in hospital, made it back to work on the Tuesday, they have been awesome, they revised my working conditions to suit my health. Second treatment yesterday, oh yuck all I felt like doing was throwing up, but managed to overcome with drugs. Actually am feeling nearly human today, and also first venture out to to big world to do some grocery shopping. Not for long but enough to feel normal. But oops forgot to mention, shaved head as waking up with mouth full of hair was too much, I have added a photo. Thank you everyone for your support.

Oh so sorry your being held captive. Hoping you will recover quickly. Kath x

Hey Kim J, how good is it that you had a reason for feeling like crap!! At least once it is sorted you will feel better. Yayyyyyyyy!! Xx Cath

The white cell thing, neutropenia, is a bloody nuisance. It's likely you will get a shot the day after your next chemo of a drug called Neulasta which will help kick start your production of new white cells and prevent it happening.
Neulasta affects different people in different ways. I'm one of the ones who gets severe bone pain a few days after the shot. I'm managing that with Claratyn tablets, the antihistamine stops some process that cause the extreme pain. The jury is out on whether it works for everyone but it's worth asking your onc about it if you get into strife. Heaps of people have little or no reaction to the Neulasta, hope you are one of them. As we all keep saying, chemo sucks.

Crumbs but you're in the best place possible! I had 5 days in hospital on antibiotics. 
Take care
