TC chemotherapy
Hello everyone, I'm about to start Docetaxel and cyclophosphamide chemo on Monday. I'm to have 4 treatments, three weeks apart over three months . Gladly take any advice on what I should be doing ...
Hi Finch, I had the same chemo as you. I was surprisingly fine for the first 3 days and then it hit me like a Mack truck.I couldn’t get out of bed for 3 days and couldn’t eat. Everything tasted like poison and my mouth felt like it was lined with fur.I could only drink with a straw to get it past my tongue. Lemon cordial helped and lemonade ice blocks. Veggie soup n crackers were the only things I could eat. I had such a bad headache for those 3 days.I improved after that but developed a high temp around day 10 and had to go to hospital.My hair began to fall out around day 16.We are all different and you never know how you’ll react.My motto is- hope for the best but prepare for the worst.Big hug.xx
