Hi Josie and Dette,
Nice to hear from both of you! Just to save a bit of confusion, I'm Liz the person who posted the message about FEC 90 chemo. Then Cheryl made a comment, so that may have been the reason for the name confusion. It's nothing though. It's very easy to confuse lots of lovely ladies :)
After my first chemo yesterday, I did get a gradual tension headache, sore eyes and sinusy feeling. I though it was a headache and took a panadol, which didn't help. After taking anti nauseus medications it seems to help a lot before bedtime. So I wonder whether it was nausea, even though it didn't really present itself that way to me. Today I feel ok, just slight nausea after breakfast, even though I did take meds beforehand. It seems fine after a bit of a lie down.
Josie, I also heard that which each cycle people can get a bulit up reaction. Hopefully it won't be so bad. We all hope for a smooth ride. I also like to count down. I 've been telling myself 1 down 5 to go. Still seems a few to get through.
Dette, all the best on Monday. I was given a nausea/sleep tablet (Ativan) to start the night before chemo and continue for next 5 nights. I really think it helped me relax and fall asleep. They could possibly give you something similar.
Now I just wait it out for the rest of the treatment and cross my fingers for the best. x
