Getting Nervous
Have just read a blog about heartburn- no one has mentioned that to me yet!
I begin next chemo next week and despite lots of reading I feel I am in for a bit of a shock! On top of hair loss, fati...

Hi Helen,
I'm the biggest whimp here.I was sooo anxious about my first chemo that they had to give me a "calm you down pill".It's only natural to be worried because it's the unknown -you don't know how you will react to the first chemo.Everyone reacts differently to a degree.Each chemo combo has different side effects.I had the TC combo.I never got heartburn but then I wasn't eating much.Inside of my mouth felt like fur and food tasted weird.I couldn't eat my favourites-tea and chocolate.By day 4 it hit like a ton of bricks and I stayed in bed.I had aches and fatigue and a bad headache.I never threw up.I gradually improved over the week.Keep your week following chemo free so you can rest if you need to.
