Sentinel lymph nodes removed - Chemo & Radiation treatment
I have my first appointment with Oncologist next week and I'm writing down any questions that pop into my hear and seeking useful tips from others who can offer suggestions for what helped during day ...
There has been some very good tips here above.
I'm here to say, not everyone gets nausea and vomiting with Chemo.
I know that I was one of the lucky ones.
I took one anti-emetic the first time I left the house, just in case.
I had no nausea, and did not take any anti-emetics after that.
I did the Mastectomy, Chemo EC x4 and Taxol x12, R/T x25
It is not like the movies. Even if you are unlucky and do get the N &V, you will be given the drugs you need.
Take them, and report if they do not work, to your Onc or Chemo nurses.
I did have other side effects, but with the advice given, they were all manageable.
I did not lose my hair. I would have with the Chemo I had.
But I used the Cold Cap very successfully. If it is available to you give it a go.
.I recommend Mepitel during R/T, I had no burns.
Ask me any questions, if I can help you. You can do it via private message.
All the best.
