About Chemo
Hi, I have done the Mastectomy bit of this process, and my surgeon told me yesterday that it is quite likely that I will have chemo. I understand this could be for one of three main reasons:
1) if ...
Well I am different again to those who have posted. I was really positive, very fit and healthy prior to my 1st round ove chemo. I had recovered well from surgery also. I woke up the morning after chemo no. 1 and just vomitted all over the bed! I had no warning at all, and the vomitting continued relentlessly until my husband called the oncologist who had me brought into ER. The oncologist said I had caught a bug. But this happened the 2nd session and continued, so I was taken into hospital for 24hrs of anti nausea until settled.
I didn't fare well with chemo, but have been told by other doctors and anaesthetists that people who are car or boat sick are often sick with chemo, radiation and/or GA. That has proved to be true all round for me.
I hope you fare well, I seem to be a minority and it definitely is not in my head. Ondanzetron is booked for after my GA for my breast surgery next week :)
