Hi Susan,
I did well first cycle so I expected to be much the same the second time around. I was wrong as yourself I felt worse the 2nd time around. As for the pain if you take panadol on a regular basis such as 2 tablets 4 times a day it is more effective for pain relief than just taking panadol when you get pain. You could also try panadiene but make sure you only take a combined 8 tablets a day of panadol and panadiene as you should only have 4000mg of paracetamol per day. I was advised not to take any nurofen during my chemo as it can upset your stomach which the chemo could be doing as well. If panadeine or panadol aren't working you can go to your doctor and ask for a prescription of either panadiene forte or endone which are stronger pain killers. If you take anything with codeine in it be on the watch out for constipation. I hope this is helpful.
Good luck with the rest of your chemo. I used to think after each cycle that is one less to go.
