2nd chemo
Hi girls,
as expected, I'm not too well. Had a good first 24 hrs but as usual came crashing down after that. Pills have kicked in for the moment so I thought id try a quick post.
Just like to tell...
Hi jules,
My first chemo was a disaster. I ended up with febrile neutropenia. But never again. I got the neulaster injection after that. So you re lucky they offered it to you straight up. Because its a government protocol that the oncologist has to prove you need it first as it costs $2000. Other Chemo's I've been much better. Worst symptoms for me would be: headache.- feeling hot and cold-joint pain -I also have had inflammation of the vulva, so swollen- oh and losing my hair. They can give you pills for most symptoms but not that
For me the first 24 hrs I'm on dex so I could run marathons but hit the wall for at leat 2-3 days after that and a week later start to lift. But remember that's me. You're different and could cope much better or worse. Here for you when you need. Hope you have a smooth cycle and are fit and well for round2. Nicole x ?
Cheers Nicole
