Cycle 1 done

My oncologist prescribed Nexium for my heartburn. I found this very effective and took it the whole time I was on chemo (I had FEC X3, D x 3). I always had a little bit of nausea while on FEC but found that eating small amounts frequently helped. I tried to stick to healthy options but found that during that week after chemo, it helped to eat what you felt like. Lemonade ice blocks really helped with the nausea for me and I also found salty things helped (but keep drinking plenty of fluids). A lot of people say that they craved tomatoes. I found that my eating habits were quite different for that week of chemo but then I would get back to normal and eat very healthy again for that next 2 weeks. Sorry can't help with FB either. Hope that things go better next time. I did find that each chemo was different and the side effects varied. Best of luck with it. I am 18 months from last chemo and doing extremely well now.
