Hi, i had my first chemo hit yesterday (10th may).... but this is my second time round after 17 years so lucky me, now I'm stage 4.
I new what to expect! It is daunting...its the unknown and everyone is different in how they handle it and or react. I'm waiting for side effects to happen but so far so good feeling fine, they say may get tired over w'end, keep waiting for nausea but nothing. Hope stays that way.
I have to take the steroids dexamethesone 4mg
For 2 days 1 breakfast 1 lunch
Weekend 1 at breakfast sat and sun
The mon for 1 week each day a half tablet then stop
They say if you get a good therapeutic quality magnesium it can help withg the legs etc.
