3rd cycle day 6

Glad to hear Wendy all ok with the tests. Yes thats the needle I have been given as well. I spoke to soon.....feeling really good this time round so went out to lunch and got food poisioning been down for 2 days just coming good this afternoon. Cannot believe I didnt ask for freshly cooked but the price and venue I assumed it would be ok (wrong) so paid the price.

This journey is really shitty and you cant get complaincent when you think you feel well your still vulnerable.

You take care as well and hope your old woman syndrome is over soon as I do understand what you mean. Lol

The tests are good, so relief. I ended up calling the chemo unit, even the kind nurse could tell that I was flying as high as a kite because of the dexa, so I only took one tablet twice a day from the Thursday until this past Sunday.Then I have crashed but still not sleeping 100% but not too worried about that. My bones are really sore especially my back and walking around like an old lady, thats the injection (neulasta)  side effects. I know it will only last for a few more days so it is all good. Yes can fully relate to the chemo brain, at least that is what I  am telling myself. take care Wendy xxx

Trying to keep a positive spin on everything as much as I can. When I do have a teary then everyone thinks that I'm falling apart, it is a catch 22. I know its not for every and that is the driving force. take care Wendy xxx

My last chemo will be in about 2 weeks so really looking forward to the end. Sorry to hear you had a rough trott and still not 100% they told me it takes about 6 weeks after last treatment to feel 80% of what you were prior to chemo. So it does take a while. I'm going to sign up for the cancer rehabilition program so that I can grt back to my health quickly. Take care Wendy xxx

Yes got something to look forward to, the radiation and the hormone treatment. I cant imagine it being as bad as chemo so bring it on. Only one more cycle of chemo and then I will be much happier. Yeahh...take care Wendy xxx

Good news my scan has come back fine so happy about that just got to get headaches migrainses under control before I start hormone therapy. Im a dreamer anyway so nice dreams are always welcome. Luckily the hallucinations have stopped and getting a little more sleep each night. take care. wendy xx

Hi wendy 

Wow I am thinking of you going thru this crap headaches are one thing but migraines that really sucks. I just had my 3rd treatment and was waiting for the fatigue to kick in not sure what happened this time but I stuffed up taking the dex (forgot) and took it for an extra day and all over easter I was waiting to fall but didnt. My oncologist did prescribe the needle to have 24 hours after chemo to build my white blood cells as I had such a hard time the first time I am thinking this could of contributed to my wellness ??  

I do hope this gets better or if you want to discuss the needle I will get the info and send it to you (my memory is shot lately) 

All the best and I hope your tests are all good. 

Love and hugs Di xxx

Sorry to hear you are having a tough time. I also got quite a few side effects, but not nearly as bad as you, you poor thing:( I hope things pick up for you. I had my last chemo on 4/3 and I'm still not feeling real well, currently doing radiation. Sending big hugs to you, take care,
