Hello Ladies
This has certainly been a frightening journey, but I do believe that emotionally I feel abit better now that I know what treatment entails even though I do feel yucky from the chemo. Fortunately I have been incredibly lucky only to have had very mild side effects from the chemo so far. My secret weapon for the treatment of side effects is shiatsu massage (acupuncture without the needles). A few times I have felt quite yucky and thought it could develope into nausea, diarhoea, etc., and I have had a shiatsu treatment which fortunately my husband does and it seems to knock the side effect on the head. I dont know whether it is a coincidence or not, I dont care, as long as the side effect goes away and I start to feel better. Shiasu may not suit everyone. If you are interested google "Shiatsu and Cancer". Chemo was on the 23rd of December so I was expecting the worst for christmas, but I think it didn't turn out too bad. So its day 12 after 1st chemo and I still have trouble eating as well.
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Thanks for all the support
