Hi girls
I wouldn't believe it if it wasn't happening to me. I had my 2 Dex tabs at 2pm as instructed and I will have to have 2 more in the morning before my chemo tomorrow. I think this is to h...
I'm just about to have my third FEC and must admit have found Cycle 2 quite kind really. I only had nausea for the first couple of days (cycle 1 I had it basically for the whole three weeks), then a terrible cold and sore throat, I found Day 6 to be my doona day. The last two weeks I've felt pretty fine on a whole. I'm used to not having any hair now (although still have a lot of spiky bits, especially the middle section like a mohawk LOL) and used to putting on my wig everyday! I need to get some warm hats or headware though as it's getting cooler hear in far north NSW!
I've heard taxotere is far worse with bone pain and the like - have you experienced that so far Mich? I did suffer terrible insomnia night 1 & 2 and didn't realise that was from the Dex so thanks for enlightening me!
