Day 3 of Chemo

Everything tastes sweet! And I don't like it.  I am not enjoying food.  The dexamethasone interrupted my sleep the first two nights.  I have been really fatigued. I am having a fair bit of acid reflux.

  • Thanks for the comments everyone. Things have been going much better now. I started to feel back to normal by day 6. Hopefully it's this easy for the next round! Elisha- I'm on Cyclophosphamide and Docetaxel.

  • Hey Tanya,

    I have all those lovely side effects as well, but it gets better. Soon you will be in your fantastic week and enjoy it as much as possible and just think you can tick one more of your list :).

  • hehe sorry i meant Ginger Snap biscuits, fingers have a mind of there own sometimes lol Take Care

  • the side effects are biting eh, i too had the same ones as you, i tended to eat cinger snaps (recommended by the oncology team), i never liked them before but could eat them while having acuppa, also the heart but acid i spoke to my specialist at oncology and he gave me some chalky liquid (cant remember the name) but it worked, make sure you report all the symptoms at your appointments, i found it good to write them down to jog my memory, good luck with the rest of your treatment, and please let us know how you are doing, take care Moira
