Ya poor thing, chemo it sooo Not fun lol
Are you on steroids atm ? I Start the night before chemo for 3 days, it helps with nausea as well as other things, Dexmethasone is what im on..
I've found, although distressing while it was all falling out, being bald isn't the big deal I thought it would be.. the cute hats from jas definitely help..
But I can't believe you are shedding already luv..
What exactly has your oncologist got you on?
I'm on what they call TCH ..
So my update,,,
After my bloods on Wednesday I received a call Thursday, my liver isn't liking one of my chemo drugs , so today my dose was reduced, im not sure if it will stay that was for every cycle, all I know so far is ill be having weekly blood tests for a bit ..
Other than that, the side effects from 1st cycle did get a little worse during 2nd cycle but still manageable.. the fatigue gets me down though..
Just try to make sure you have a bit of everything on hand at home, Gastro stop, mylanta or buscopan for indigestion, hydralyte, biotene if you get really dry mouth, all the stuff they suggest in the info the nurses would have given you.. I didn't think I'd experience every side effect,,, lol I was wrong .. although I have not vomited yet , im pleased about that 😁 but it may still happen, the effects of chemo are cumulative, so unfortunately it is going to get worse..
I'll let you know in about 2 weeks how cycle 3 has been, by then I should be well over the worst and bouncing back, i find im almost good as new with about 5 days to spare before the next cycle starts again 😊
Hang in there lovely..
Here's my number 0488060096 and honestly, txt me anytime if you think I can help somehow.. and its no problem if you don't feel comfortable contacting me.. but the offer is there
Think of you mate
