Good cycles, bad cycles

Has anyone experienced different reactions to different cycles of their chemo?

I had round 3 12days ago and this one has really knocked me for six! I usually take 3 days off work but needed a week this time and even now I am just so tired. Never felt fatigue like it! My mouth ulcers were alot worse this time round, and I still have a sore tongue!

Now, I am dreading the next round, whereas usually it doesn't phase me. I'm half way through, and stopping isn't an option, but it is really getting me down a bit now, and I would be interested to see how the rest of you have coped?

I'm sure that by the 13th June when my next one is due I will be fine, but I will be glad when it's over!

Love to you all xx

    Hi Jen,

    I am not going to lie to you because i had people lie to me and it doesn't help but keep in mind everyone is different...

    My 3rd, 4th and 5th were the worst i think our patience run thinner and thinner each time also and you feel like when you get back up they keep knocking you down...

    My 6th on the other hand was a dream compared to the rest minimal nausea to the rest i couldn't believe how great i felt but is that because i knew it was my last and my mind was in a better place? who knows i think it had a little to do with it... 

    I couldnt see the finish line until after my 6th it seemed so far away but i made it and so will you and when its here it all seems like it went by so quickly...

    What chemo are you having?

    xx
