1st chemotherapy
Well I had my 1st chemotherapy on Friday 9th and it did not go as I expected. I was at the hospital for approx 5 hours and access to my portacath was difficult due to the swelling but they did manage...

Hey Aussiemumof2
I just got out of the hospital today after 10 long days. The Oncologist does not want to change my drugs as I am on F,E,C which is the best for my chance of survival. When I go in on the 30th for my next session I am being admitted to the ward for 5 days, where they plan on having me on IV antiamedics which should hopefully make me feel better. If not at least I am in the hospital where the Dr's and Nurses can look after me.
Things were so bad within a hour of finishing my chemo I could not even sip water without it coming right back up. I never for a second thought I could be so unwell. At one stage I was begging the staff to Give me something to put me out of my mysery. On day 5 I could start to drink water and i started to eat toast and bland foods but this was also the time I became Neutropenic and was placed in Isolation. I have to say the whole thing has been a nightmare and far worse than I expected. Here is hoping the next round is kinder to me. OOhh how I pray it is kinder to me.
