Hi Mel
sorry for the late response, had the first chemo and boy I think I got most of the symptoms in some form of dose. I had nausea start and a real bad headache , about 2 hours after coming home. This all lasted about 5 days, today on day 6 I feel so much better. Looking back, I suppose it wasnt that bad, but just "felt sorry for myself" I suppose. I kept thinking its just like "morning sickness".......
I was quite anxious on the day of chemo, but really it felt like a walk in the park. The nurse I had was fantastic, she explained everything and was quite funny. She was so down to earth it really made me relax with the whole thing. Until coming home, I honestly could have walked up a cliff and jumped. The nauseous and headache was unbearable.
I will have to ask my oncologist tomorrow - as I have been having the shakes at times.... not sure if this is a side effect as well. I get them in the hands, and feel quite jittery (if that make sense)
anyway catch up soon and sending hugs your way as well , Julie XX
