Hi everyone, haven't been on this for a while - have still been reading a few blogs, though.
I've finally got a start date - this Friday. I have got 6 sessions of FEC. Hope I will get through it without any hiccups or delays and will be through it by early January.
I've been feeling so good for a couple of weeks now, it's going to be hard putting up with the "yuk" feeling you all talk about.
Hope everyone else is having a good day.
Hi Kathryne,
My goodness, you have been through the mill be the sound of it. Hope I get a better deal than that. Hopefully you are all sorted out now, and next time won't be as bad. Good luck !!!!!
Thanks for your best wishes, Dette.
I have just had the heart test today - sounds like it went OK. Hoping I get through the FEC like you. Most people I have spoken to say the "metallic" taste is really horrible. Will just have to find something that works to keep it mild.
I have had my hair cut really short - getting me used to what will happen in about 3 weeks. It's easy to look after - might just keep it that way. Ha Ha.
Cheers, and good luck for the rest of your venture.
Hi Cheryl
All the very best for your first treatment Friday. I had 3 FEC treatments before changing to Docetaxel for 3. As you know we are all so individual in both our treatments and reactions but take some heart from the fact I found the FEC very doable. The anti-nausea and vomiting medication (which I took as directed) worked for me and I didn't need to use the 'emergency supply'. Of course the hairloss, 3-4 weeks in, was a little challenging and I was getting a little more tired by the 3rd.
I think you have read lots of the blogs and so there are plenty of hints for how many of us have made the most of the little bumps along the way.
Take care and again all the best
