AC Chemo
I only realised this morning when I was out on my walk, just how anxious I am about having my 4th and last AC Chemo treatment on Thursday. I've got it on the list to question the oncologist about but I know that a number of women have said that this can be worse than the first treatment and if that is what I can expect, I'm packing it. I know that I haven't had things as bad as some on this forum but I honestly don't know how I could go through anything like those first few days again, let alone if it's worse. I know that no-one can do anything to help - I just needed to put it out there as I don't want to get everyone else anxious before it happens. Worse still, it'll be the start of the school holidays and I'm really, unreasonably, angry about that. I love the kids being home and I hate that, yet again, I probably won't really be up for making the most of the time with them.

- What a wretched way to feel. I sincerely hope it is lifting and never to return. Bleeuuurghh indeed.
- Constant and awful nausea so far but I think it's finally lifting. I hope so - I have my first Oncology Rehab appointment this morning and I don't think it would be a good look if I bleeuuurghh everywhere.
- So how has No 4 treated you @Sister? How are you doing so far? Thinking of you. K xox
Hope all went well today @sister. Like you I had 4 A/C and I found that the last one wasn't any different to the first. The weekly Taxol is easier.
I understand the frustration with it being the School holidays. But just think by the July ones you be nearly at the end of it all if not finished.
Big hugs xx

- Thank you so much Jennyss, I was born in the 60's so I'm probably a bit younger but I do remember the song. :)
