After reading some of these posts I'm thinking that I must either be really, really lucky or I'm one tough old broad.
I had my first (fec) treatment last week. That night I felt odd, and after speaking to the onco unit, discovered that it was probably more to do with anxiety rather than side effects from chemo. Only took one anti nausea pill that night and haven't needed them since. I had a headache for a few days which made me feel a little unwell; I still get lightheaded and I do get tired really easy.
So now I'm wondering if my next cycle will be far worse.
I'm used to just doing whatever needs to be done without too much fuss so I too have been overwhelmed by the kindness, support and offers of help with absolutely anything - meals, housework, transport etc from friends and work colleagues. I'm really thankful that I have a wonderful group of friends from both work and in my personal life.
Keep smiling and don't forget to laugh
