Hi everyone, sorry to hear you are having a hard time of the supposed “easy chemo” GorgyS. You are brave to keep going, I would be scared even though I have total faith in those nurses. I really hope the steroids and antihistamines help you to finish your treatment without more reactions. Keep talking to us about it all, understanding this path in life is definitely something we can all agree on.
Katie, wow, eight rounds, we’ve come a long way since the diagnosis of “you have breast cancer”. I still struggle with fatigue and that taste but then I spare a thought for the 57 women who were diagnosed today unexpectedly like me and the 57 tomorrow……. so happy then to be on the “other side”.
I stuffed up with my calculations on when I’m supposed to have my last infusion. I went in on Tuesday ready to ring the bell and my nurse said….. are you sure this is your last??? Ummmm, yes! Well no was the correct answer 😂. So next Tuesday is the last.

Fatigue is really hitting me hard along with that taste. I’m thinking 4 weeks till I’m off out for Chinese and then a steak with red wine jus soon after. I miss the taste of food. Still on a weight loss because of it.
My finger nails are all brown too and painful. My thumb nail is hanging in there. I’ve lost 2 toenails too.
I’m working full time with overtime and it’s almost killed me. My body really can’t take much more of this poison.
How are you Maree 72? So sad to read what you are going through. No words can help but rest assured you are not alone and we understand. When I was on the AC and not coping (which I didn’t cope most of the time) I told myself I was one of the chosen few to experience this and now that I am almost done with chemo….. I wouldn’t change any of it…… I’ve crossed it off the bucket list 😊
