chemo
Hi my pink ladies
If I am having chemo this is the combination that I am told I will have. Still waiting to hear the oncologists recommendation after speaking to the pathologist about my high key ...
I have just had my second last chemo treatment. 3 x FEC and 3 x Docetaxel. I agree with Robyn that walking is the best thing for fatigue. Side affects for me were different for the two different drugs. I definitely found the FEC cycles the worst especially the fatigue. I lost my hair to on day 14. I had had my hair cut into a pixie cut ready and on day 14 my husband shaved the rest off for me. I have been able to manage the side effect the same way Robyn has and by week three I am feeling pretty good.
I had every intention of going back to work but found I couldn't and I am so glad I decided not to as there is a lot to do just in looking after yourself and your own environment. I am quite surprised how quickly the time has gone since starting my treatment and can now see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Do what's right for you and be kind to yourself.
Big hugs
Joy xx
