Oh dear this request for input has not come at a good time for me and I hope this doesn't scare you too much!!
After 3 rounds of FEC, which had various nasty side effects but relatively manageable, I had my first of 3 D treatments 6 days ago (Tuesday 28th Jan). I am scraping the bottom of the barrel then look past that to go lower!! The first day was good as the pre-meds held it all at bay. From then it has been downhill with the fatigue, mouth furriness, no appetite, muscle aches and generally feeling absolutely dreadful!! My onc tells me I may have another 5 days of this. WE wil talk about reducing the next dose when I am feeling better - this is not the time to be making those decisions.
I hve been trying to keep up daily walking but this has become more and more of an effort. I also have a gentle swim in the evenings which helps a little.
One thing I have learnt through all this is that everyone is different and my experience may not match yours in any way!! So, take the positives, hold onto those but be reassured that there are others going through the negatives. Find what, if anything, works for you. Me - I'm taking myself off to bed for the afternoon. Maybe I can sleep this off like a MASSIVE hangover????
