Treatment
Well I am as ready as can be for my first chemo on Thursday.I am on a 3 weekly cycle of 3. I am on fluorosuracil, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide and then I am on docetaxel. I believe I have a break...
Thanks Marg, nice to hear from you and how the chemo affected you, everyone is so different. My oncology nurse mentioned mouth ulcers and her suggestion for relief was to suck a piece of liquorice, so have a bag of that on hand, just in case.
I also plan to have my head shaved when the time comes, and have bought a beanie and cap in preparation. Unfortunately being in the country getting access to wigs isn't quite so easy, but have a couple of leads which will follow up. Also am booked into a Look Good Feel Better workshop and believe they also have some for us to try, so that will be a fun thing to look forward to.
Hope your second one goes well and will be thinking of you. xx
