One more sleep
I start my first of 4 cycles of AC tomorrow just after the pcc clinic. So many feelings, mostly fear. I haven't cut my long hair as i am still in denial and hoping someone will call and say it is all ...
Hi Gerry, the unknown is frightening but everyone has a different experience. Most of the side affects are manageable. I have had 3 rounds so far of AC. I have managed to work 3 days per week & go to the gym. I had mouth ulcers the first time so Oncologist advised rinsing with Bicarbonate of Soda 4 times a day & I have had none since. Scalp was a bit irritated until hair came out so I used a bit of olive oil for dryness. Worst was metallic taste from day 3 to 6, mineral water helps. Try & eat really well & drinking a lot of water after chemo for days is really important. Good luck, you will be okay!
