TCH

Hi everyone,

Having my 2nd treatment, woohoo 2 to go, at least I could plan better this time and I know what to expect. Hoping the next few days are a bit easier than last, my oncologist changed my meds a little to help. 

Hope everyone is having a lovely day ?

Cheers Jen ?? ?? x

  • Thanks Trace,

    I had an easier time this go round Trace, makes a difference I think when you know what to expect as you can prepare yourself a bit better. Hope you are doing well.

  • Thank you Jane,

  • Hi Nadine,

    Having the chemo is fine on the day, but it does take about 4 hrs or so. I had a few bad days from day 3-7 but everyone is different. Take the meds they give you to help, be kind to yourself, take it day at a time and try hard to stay positive. If you have symptoms your not sure about getting relief with hop on here we will help if we can. The chemo nurses are a wealth of information and they are only a phone call away. All the best and please keep in touch.

  • Hi Jenny, best of luck for round 2. Hopefully you will have an easier time of it - the first is always a bit of an unknown, but hopefully now they have adjusted things for you it will be a bit easier. Take care, Jane xx

  • Hi Jenny

    I have my first TCH dose on Wednesday. Any tips?

    Hope all goes well for you.
