Next steps.
Last night I had an absolute meltdown and cried uncontrollably for an hour but I have woken today with a slightly clearer head and am trying to imagine what it's going to be like in the coming months ...
I’m on the same regime, fortnightly AC x 4 and weekly paclitaxel x 12. I found AC wiped me out for the first six days (fatigue and quite woozy so unable to drive) but after day six everything started to feel better until the next cycle. Life is a lot more normal on paclitaxel and while I’m tired and achey I can still function pretty much normally.
It all seems incredibly daunting at the beginning but it’s been quite manageable and I’m surprised at how quickly it’s gone.
I have a port and while it’s not my favourite thing in the world I’m really glad I have it. I use Emla numbing cream beforehand and don’t really feel it being accessed.
