FEC two and three
Hello,
I am having FEC two next Tuesday. My side effects for FEC one were not too bad. I am wondering what other FEC users have found with doses two and three. Have side effects been similar or ...
Hi Julia
You know most of my story but thought I would add anyway. I too had minimal side effects from FEC 1, managing to work and socialise quite a bit after day 10 or so and have again had mild effects up until now (Day 5) after FEC 2.
I found the actual chemo administration second time round not near as 'stressful' and managed to relax a little. I have been careful to listen to my body and done more "of nothing" this time round but that seems to be helping to keep me up a little later and then I'm sleeping better than last time - during post week 1 I was awake from 2.00 - 5.00am most days!!
I am persisiting with a walk every day that the weather allows - slightly shorter than last time and will try and build up in the next weeks again! Day 4 was a big nothing day this time, just sat, read, chatted, dosed and then ate a lovely meal prepared by darling husband!!
Good luck Tuesday, Dette xxx
