Thanks for your comments. I'm feeling very anxious about Thursday's chemo which I know is silly.. I like to know what to expect but understand everyone's reaction is different.
I am already taking nexium the week after chemo due to bad heartburn do will start it up again now.
What did you use for pain relief for the aches and pains. I was told by oncologist to use endone if needed... I can't take nurofen due to being on blood thinners.
I have MS so am worried about the possible nerve damage though am used to tingling, heat etc. my oncologist has admitted she doesn't know how my already damaged nervous system will go and that's a bit of a worry but living with MS won't kill me but the bc could so I just stick out the chemo recommended.
I had lots of problems sleeping after the dex going through my drip but eventually asked for some mild sleeping tablets which I took for the 3 days after chemo.
Have to admit I'm also worried about not greeting more than a week between chemos... I just feel nearly human and they knock me down again.
My oncologist seems to sugar coat alot of things so we will see. She said lots of women go back to work on this treatment and it's a breeze compared to AC. Want to tell her if it's not a breeze she has to join me and have it put through her veins.
My Portacath has been a little weird these last two weeks. I'm very aware of it and it's like that bugs under skin feeling ony chest.
Hope everyone is smiling and feeling ok
