I think all you ladies are fantastic.
I have known about Cancer for 6 weeks now and have sufferred in silence.
I should have posted a blog before now, but I didn't realise how supportive everyone...

Oh dear Sandy I really hope things improve for you. I tried drinking lots of water - which I really hate, though it does help with the nausea, the headaches and other stuff. Although I am only three days in so far.
With the indigestion see your onchologist for a script for something as the chemo, or rather the Demax tabs do cause heartburn. This was something I overlooked to start with and ended up seeing a cardiologist for my heartburn! Bit of over kill - when it is just something simple that can be treated for you.
don't let your doctor get away without you saying something of your different reactions as some of them can actually be treated. I was told yesterday hair loss is usually 2-3 weeks, so you still have a few days to go yet. It will apparently become coarse and brittle before it just falls out all together.
Yes, I get dizzy also - try the water approach. I have not drunk so much - and piddled too! in so many years! It does help - keep your body hydrated especially with the diarrhea. There is treatment for that too so ask your doctor.
Hope this helps some
Take care
