@jennyss @Sister @kmakm. Starting to get a sense of the cycle as it seems to be relatively as everyone said it would be. Aches and pains from the afternoon of day 3 with the worst in day 4 (which I was planning to work in the future but will not be happening I don’t think), they are starting to get better slowly now but I think that i will be pretty much useless or mildly useless from day 4-7. Thank god though I have not suffered any nausea which is a blessing (so far that is). Joint pain is less but have sore neck muscles and a grey film on my tongue - definately got the metallic taste and filminess kick in about the same time as the ashes and pains. At the moment the chemo brain hasn’t kicked in so I’m able to know when things happened - will have to start keeping a diary though for later on. I will be asking my oncologist when I see her on Tuesday for some sleeping tablets and some extra pain relief for when the joint pain kick a in and panadol osteo just isn’t cutting it. Thanks for your fabulous advice as always ladies!
