Chemo #2 FEC
Well after having a couple of good weeks in the lead up to cycle 2, things went a little pear shaped. I felt like I was getting a cold over the weekend and was extremely tired on Sunday night, by the time we sat down for dinner I was so congested. I got the shivers and 5 minutes later was roasting hot. Uh oh. Off to emergency I went with a fever. Ended up on IV antibiotics and having a chest X-ray and ct brain. Went through hell and back waiting for the results on the ct, but they were clear. My bloods were ok too, so it looks like I had sinusitis. Can't believe I got though the 3 weeks after the first chemo only to have this get me the day before my next cycle.
On top of all this my hair came tumbling out on Saturday. One minute it was there and the next so much of it as gone. I knew it was going as it was itchy and "loose". I had a shower and most of it literally washed away. It was awful seeing it, even though I had cut it short. So now I am a nude nut. Well almost, there is still some patches hanging on. I wish they would fall out too, because the patchiness is worse than none.
So after a 2 day delay I have had cycle 2. 2 down...4 to go. I left my little girl at home with a friend. Hard to leave because she is sick too, but I'm sure she had a ball.
Til next time...
