Hi Ladies,
I had FeC, and I hated my day 3 & 4 - especially when I had to take the Steriod which kills me wrt to nausea! From a friend's friend who had gone thru BC, she recommended Acupunture treatment.
So I had Acupunture treatment before and after my Chemo week. I certainly help me with the rest of my Chemo time. I felt better faster, and sleeps better and food - well I was quite off food - cause everything was Matellic.
Also another ladie from South Africa going thru Chemo, she uses Reflexology to help her with side effects.
FOOD: You may already heard this,
To avoid Matallic taste in food and water, it helps if you use:
* Straw to drink water
* Plastic knifes and forks & YES even plates
5 to go, 4 to go, then ... 1 to go ... you will be celebrating !
Oh ... you will get a fantastic week (physically) before your next Chemo, where your body feels great .. To help with mental side of things try do book yourself to something you enjoy with a special friend the week before next chemo. As it can really help you stay positive, as it did help me through this journy.
Celebrate every little milestones along the way. It is a hard & long journey ... you will get there!
