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 ...

Thank you @Finch! I love it. Initially I went pretty muted with my colours but soon realised I wanted a bright so I went back for this one. Head Complements in Bedford Road, East Ringwood. Very good range of hats, scarves and wigs.
Good idea to go out while you feel able. My chemo was on Mondays too and my husband & I had pre-chemo dates on the Saturday night before. Until the fourth round when my tastebuds were completely shot & I was just too knackered.
If you do get furry mouth and everything tastes yuck my big tip is get a fresh pineapple, cut into pieces and put two or three into ziplock bags and freeze. My GP put me onto this, something about the acid and the enzymes really cuts through.
Furry mouth can also be oral thrush, which I got/have each round :/ Keep an eye on that and see your GP if you get a white coating on your tongue.
My pubes started going on Day 13 and my hair on Day 14. Eyebrows and eyelashes have thinned but are hanging in so far. I'd say your legs and underarms on Day 13 of your first cycle. You may not have to shave again for three months! Silver linings...
I will PM you about a meet up!
