Hi Maria , I just finished my TC chemo on the 1 of november, my cancer was same as your just that it was a bit 29mm and no lymph involvement. Each one of us reacts different to chemo but I can tell you how mine , on the day of the chemo i was fine feeling full of energy and hungry probably from dexamethasone, than by day 3 i began to have a funny taste in my mouth and my tongue was covered in a white fur , I found that Biotene tooth paste and mouth wash helped a lot. Also in the first three days I made sure that I drunk 10 glasses of water helps your kidneys eliminate all the toxins.During this time I eat soft foods , puree fruits and lemonade . The first week after chemo I was very tired and had lots and lots of nannas naps , by week two I start improving being back to normal by week three. I keep a diary noting my temperature ,which I took twice a day as if the temperature reaches 38 its a trip to emergency room, and my symptoms and how I managed them . I know this is a very anxious time for you now , but the doctors will give you medications to manage the nausea and vomiting , if you find that you are to anxious just tell the nurses and they will arange to have something to calm your nerves down. A very important thing: Nausea is easier to manage before its sets in so take whatever medication they give you for it. Just be kind to yourself and rest when you need to to not overdo things, use those months to look after yourself and beat this disease, if you are offered help accept it and do not feel bad about it. Come on this site as often as you need to and vent your feeling I found the ladies here have a lot of knowledge and they are very helpfull I know it helped me a lot. You can do this ,good luck and I hope my info helped. Regards Monica
