5th session on FEC today

Oh dear.... Last time was HELL i had insomnia soooooo bad couldn't sleep for 4 days... I am hoping this one is better i am going to try and not have Dex as that was the main cause of me not sleeping i just hope by not taking it i don't get too sick... The good thing is i will still get them and can take it if i need too... I so hope i don't but we will see tomorrow...

People told me this got easier... When??? When its over... Im a pretty strong person and can handle alot but last time i felt dead in my body i couldnt even cry i had no energy at all... Then the next day i cried at anything and everything but i was happy that day...

The days are so long and lonely even though i have people around me i feel lonely because im the only one who feels like crap...

I have found that toast and chocolate (milo) made my first 3 worst they were causing more indigestion and wind where i needed to burp all the time... Now not having those things i dont get wind pains all day every day...

I freak out about doing it again a few days prior but am pretty calm on the day to do it and get it over and done with...

After today i can say one more to go but to be perfectly honest i wont be happy until i am walking out with no more to do...

    Hi Elisha - I hope your chemo went OK this time.  I just had my 2nd FEC - I found it harder not easier.  The anticipation was worse too because I knew it was going to make me feel crap.  I'm day 8 now and feeling good but dreading the next one.  Then I move to Taxotere so another unknown.

    You are strong and working your way through it the best you know how - mark it off as another one done and be proud of yourself!
