Chemo date!!

Hi Emma,I am on Docetaxel and cyclophosphamide.I am having my 4th round next Monday.For me,it has been OK.Actually a lot better than I thought it would be.The worst thing has been the tiredness,on about days 5 to 8, and then after that,just make sure you stay away from people as much as you can from day 9 to 14.The 3rd week i have found that I feel pretty much like normal.The only real side effect that I have had each cycle,is a very itchy and lumpy skin rash,all over my body.Apparently it is a reaction to the chemo.My oncologist prescribed extra Dexamethasone,which did work ok,but kept me awake too much.Last cycle I just took Zyrtec ,and that worked just as well.But really Emma,don't worry too much.I know everyone is different,but there is another lady on here that started the week after me,and as far as I know,she is doing ok as well.Oh I forgot to mention as well,I have some very weird food cravings the first week,but no nausea at all.The tablets they give you for that work beautifully.All the best,and let us know how you go..xoxo. Robyn.
