Hi Janet
I had the same combination of chemo as you almost 2 years ago. I had 6 cycles so found it quite tough on cycle 5 & 6 . I used to have my treatment on a Thursday feel very tired from Sat onwards until about Tues. Had no nausea as such due to all the dexamethasone and odansetron I was given. My mouth was horrid for a few days so chose to eat macaroni cheese on the Friday and loved coffee breakas made my mouth feel better. I think as time went on I tolerated it better but became very swollen in the feet after my last chemo remember being at my sister-in laws on Dec 26th and had hugely swollen feet but that went away quite quickly. On the positive side I am now 2 years since diagnosis, feel great and have just joined the gym to get fitter. I also joined a Dragon Boat team and it's been a great addition to my life.
I found chemo something I just had to get on and "do". Hope it all goes okfor you and wishing you an easy journey.
