anxious

So sorry you are so scare Wilma. Everyone is different on how they handle side effects and what they do get. I was scared when I developed high temperatures and had to be taken to hospital. This wasn't due to side effects though, it was because I developed infections with the low immunity in the second week of the treatments. Some people suffer from little or no side effects when some suffer from a myriad of them. If you've had one round of chemo already, you have probably experienced the side effects you are prone to and hopefully they won't cumulate too much in the coming rounds. I did get nausea, intestinal problems like constipation and diarrhoea, heartburn, headaches, loss of taste, neuropathy in my fingers and toes, bone pain and body aches. But it was doable. You do get to the end of tunnel and sooner than you think. There's a post by JodieWall that you might like to read. Jody was so petrified but she had some wonderful replies that go for a few pages. She has now had her first chemo and is now encouraging others. The link is http://www.bcna.org.au/user/14318/blog/65649 Hope this helps you too Karen :) Love Janey xxx
